Cattle coughing

[johnspeehs]

Hi all
I dosed a batch of hfrs last weekend with Ivomec super and returned them to the same pasture but they are still coughing a fair bit, would they still be shedding worms?. They look pretty healthy and have done seriously since they were turned out.

I have some cattle when they bellow they gurgle a bit, they look tip top otherwise. Is that worms?

If they had lungworm beforehand, then an ivomectin based wormer kills the worms but they can't shed them from their lungs, hence the coughing.

I dosed my cattle with ivomec classic on the 11th and they are still doing a bit of coughing would it still be the worms leaving? Or would it be something else

I never thought of cows coughing to being a bad thing, after all how often do we humans get a scratchy throat and have to cough.

unless you are talking about nonstop coughing and not just temporary, this i have never experienced.

Will they ever stop then?
