calves coughing

djmc

Yesterday I had one calf with a cough and gave him a shot of batrail just to be safe today a lot more have a cough and loss of appatite
They dont look sick but i thinking it might not be two far away
I opened all doars and windows and plan on leaving stronger calves out tomorrow .
My question is what is the best thing to give the ones that are coughing .

cant remember the name of the powder you give them for a week or if they are bad get vet to give them micotil

vanderbadger

CTC10 antibiotic powder, very good for coughing calfs

Tetroxy, Micotil or Nuflor depending on how bad they are.
