    Ewes coughing

    Weaned a batch of ewes last week. Gathered them today to go through and take culls out. The amount of constant coughing going on in the yard worries me. Would it be lungworm? Reminds me of hoose in bucket reared calves. Just very unusual. Any thoughts on it?

    Milked at weekend and this morning, a few cows are coughing, perhaps 1 in 15 ( a row) It seems too early to be thinking of lungworm , but is it ? We have been grazing since mid March, and had a bad attack last year, so I suppose could have a high burden of infection. We treated them 3 times in...

    Heifers coughing and runny nose

    Some of my just under year olds heifers have been coughing a lot recently. They all were wormed and fluked roughly 2 weeks ago. Is it just the weather or is there anything I can give them ?
