I vaccinated my weanlings with rispoval 3 and injected them 4 times for worms. They still cough a bit now and again. My vet said not to worry as long as they are eating and arent showing signs of pnuemonia. I might give a couple of them a shot of Hexasol, found it worked well before.

Levicide is what i do use first,it does not kill all the worms ,just what they have at the present moment,means wont be as severe on their lungs.Follow up 4 weeks later with ivomec .Works for me

Could be viral, not parasitic.

have checked few of there temp and its fine, and they no discharge out there noses and they look well but seem to be coughing a lot like as if coughing worms up but as said did them with trodax over 3 weeks ago so i am presuming that its not that, first time ingecting with trodax to wenlings usually use a drench and they usually do a bit of coughing for first week but not 3 weeks

Trodax doesnt cover worms afaik.

I often used trodax ,never had young cattle cough after it,does bictemin kill hoose.I still reckon hoose is your problem

wouldnt think its worms,Try ctc powder.If ventelation in shed is power could be a touch of pnuemonia

Trodax is only for liver fluke

i have often had weanlings coughing a bit like that and i find an injection of alamycin300 at the 10ml per 100kgs works very well to cure it up

I would go ahead an dose them for worms if there not running a temperature.

Theres weanlings coughing all over the country as far as i can see. Well dosed and then We gave ctc with the meal and put easi breather licks with some of them. this seems to have sorted them so we have a few more licks to get now.

Valtra trodax is for Fluke only it sounds like that since housed you have not done for worms if he is coughing and not running a temp/nose/eyes I would for worms however I would not use ivermectin rather use a oral dose or levecide to avoid peunomia. You can then use an ivermectin injection 2-3 weeks later to clean up any worms remaining if that is the issue.

What temp would lads say is high? Just you'd hear some lads say if it is slightly raised and they are eating, leave them alone

temperatures bounce around during the days so readings can be up and down. unless your monitoring temps over a period of time it would be very beneficial unless they are a crazy temp
