    hi, i have black whitehead cow very thin and shook. i had the vet out with her about a fortnight ago and she said it was a touch of pneumomia. calf is small enough. she improved after the vet and i gave her a dose for rumen and liver fluke plus two copper and selenium bullets. but she has got thin again and shook enough looking. what could i give her?

    But build it up from 1 kg twice a day to 3 kgs over a week or 10 days.

    Is the test reliable? Always thought it was more of an ongoing monitoring test.

    It's not 100% accurate. But better to test than not to test

    Had one few years back and got the advice here to test, I usually wouldn't bother my arse but on this occasion I had her isolated and luckily so. Came back positive and I hung her up. It's not worth the gamble with her, if all your calves pick it up your in trouble long term.
