Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 He is now old enough to vaccinate. There is a pneumonia vaccine.. of course if he already has it ..too late for that. Take his temperature. 100.5 to 102.5 is normal. Is he acting healthy, eating pooping? Sometimes animals cough. Could be dusty hay.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 , there is a girl on the HDG911 yahoo list.She lives in North Dakota, and had a cow dairy as well as goats, and she has raised a lot of sale barn calves that were next to dead when she got them.Why don't you join that list, and address your question to Brina?It is a list just for emergencies, or sometimes just getting health questions answered, no chatting.HDG911 Deb FerrellTo: RawDairy Sent: Sun, December 6, 2009 6:29:35 PMSubject: RE: Holstein Calf Has a Cough He is now old enough to vaccinate.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I HAVE to ask this question as I am into holistic and natural health and STRONGLY BELIEVE AND KNOW that VACCINES are TOXIC for humans and HAVE to believe they are TOXIC for animals. Dr. Tenpenny on Vaccines (on Facebook) is an expert on vaccines for humans. A new phrase I have coined: Vaccines are for SHEEPLE. So with that said...can I ask why you are vaccinating your cows etc.? blessings nancy j I know that my Redeemer lives and in the end, HE will stand upon the earth!

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Is he inside or out? What is your weather like where you live? Has he been around a lot of diatamaceous earth? Is he lively and active or lethargic? yes cattle get pneumonia but if he has been coughing for a week and not dead I would be inclined to think it is something else bothering him. Do you vaccinate on your farm? If so did he get any?

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Are you able to handle him? I have treated a bad cough in a buckling with twice daily drenches that contain aloe vera, garlic tincture, respiratory tinctures (such as osha, wild cherry, mullein, horehound,etc.). It worked great. I thought the buckling had a good energy level previously but his energy and vitality increased tremendously after a week on this. Worked like a charm but not the easiest aproach for some animals.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Update I have had this calf since he was a few days old. So, 3 months or so. He has had the cough over a week, no fever, poop normal. It seems like a wet hack type of cough, he does not have the get up and go he used to have. I moved all three of them into the barn, we do not get cold here, lows are usually around 60 deg, daytime 80's at this time, they prefer to be outside day and night. I have Tylan 50, around 5 cc, and have been giving him that for the last 2 days to see if that helps. He seems to be eating and drinking fine, I force him to get up every few hours, they all lay down allot, so not sure if this is really needed but I want to make sure he gets exercise. Not sure what else to do Thanks > > Are you able to handle him?

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I know this is a rare occasion, but my sister called last night and they had about a 3 or 4 month old calf that had hay stuck in its throat, was coughing not eating at all. Kind of a long shot, I have never heard of such a thing. But thought I would mention it.
