Too Hooked On Bucking Bulls

Question: I have a four year cow that is with calf. This morning I noticed she has somewhat labored breathing, swelling in her throat between the jawbones, and occasional cough. can you give me a diagnosis and medication I should give her since she is with calf.

Answer: You can definitely start with some penicillin procaine g. This will not hurt the calf and since it will not be veal you will have no problems with withholding times.

The label dose of penicillin is quiet low because of trying to keep withholding times down. But using 300,000units/ml of penicillin g you can give her 30mls twice a day into the muscle or under the skin. She will like you a lot better if you go under the skin. You should try not to give more than 15-20ml of penicillin in one area of muscle. Rotate your sites whether you go under the skin or into the muscle. Do this for at least 7 days. Stopping to early because you are seeing good results can lead to a stronger infection when it comes back. Try to go a few days past when it looks completely normal.
