    Advice needed please,I dosed yearling heifers yesterday with biamectin, and as soon as I had done it I noticed an animal that had pneumonia.
    Called the vet and gave her medication though 24 hrs later she is getting progressively worse in that her breathing is getting worse, it's painful to see her in distress and nothing more can be done as her heart may give way cos her lungs are under such pressure with the pneumonia and fluke/worm dose .
    Any suggestions please

    Did the vet come and check her or did you go to the vet for meds.
    Either way, get the vet. She probably needs intravenous medication to help combat the pneumonia.
    It is not uncommon to get a bout of pneumonia after dosing especially at this time of the year and after a wet summer.

    Talk to your vet, there's nothing any of us can do for her.
