    Well all..
    Have some Feb born calves, bucket fed and I've noticed a few coughing a bit, nothing too much, no dirty noses or anything..
    They had bimectin injection a few weeks ago which I know doesn't cover fluke but while the weather is damp I wouldn't expect fluke until later in the year... Plan was to fluke & worm drench again at the end of July...
    What's it likely to be ??

    I have some year olds that got the fluke & worm drench at the same time but no coughing with them..

    Could be lungworm? It might be safer to go in again with a white drench on a few and see if any improvement in them and go from there. Iirc the ivermectins have a 5 week dosing interval for injections so it may be time again
