Had a 6 month old calf die in the night that had been coughing a for while. Treated over a fortnight ago with draxin and treated again 3 days ago. Got slightly better after first jab but health declined and was jabbed again at 10 days after the first after recommendation from my vet. Same happened was on the mend then went and then found dead in a cubicle this morning.
At first I was obviously gutted over the loss of the calf but there is a few others not looking great and coughing with runny noses and I am worried that they will die.
Did wonder whether it could be the building being draughty or damp but neither I or the vet can see much of the problem, one half is open fronted the other is more closed with the air moving slowly through and the cubicals are sheltered so the air passes over them rather than at them.
Got another now that was treated 9 days ago with draxin and although eating and drinking fine(the one that died had gone off eating and looking thin) has a runny nose and coughing, is it worth jabbing it again tomorrow?
Treated some of the others with draxin, is there anything else I could do?
Last winter I vaccinated all calves with rispoval 4 and some of which are now in cubicals and they are the healthiest ones in there, is it worth doing all of them again?
