[QUOTE="Jdunn55, post: 7789496, member: 81760"] Hi everyone, after some advice please 10 days I had a group of 35 calves (4-7 months old) outside in a small field with shelter, all fine one day, next day a limo was on deaths door with pneumonia. Got the vet out and ended up bringing the rest in as they were all coughing and panting, treated the worst with draxxin (those who had a very high temp and looked rough) and the rest I treated with alamycin along with metacam Fast forward, the limo who was the worst one 10 days ago died yesterday and I've just had a friesian heifer die in my arms despite keeping on top of antibiotics and metacam as required :( Vet has suggested to take some samples to find out exactly what type of bacteria is doing the damage which I've agreed to and then using a possibly using vaccine in future to prevent it (doing it at 10 days after birth and again in mid September along with possibly during January if needed) The others are OKish bar one or two still a bit rough, they're all having an aspirin powder in their cake to try and provide some relief but still a lot of coughing and panting going on for my liking Feeling pretty sh!t at the moment, any tips on helping my current ones get through it and preventing it in future?
