What are the best medications for Bovine Respiratory Disease in cows?

The most common cause of coughing in cattle is known as shipping fever (though it doesn't have to happen with shipping), a disease process commonly occurring with cows that have undergone more stress than usual. There are two organisms that can commonly be responsible for this disease, both of which will require an antibiotic to treat. If you go to a farming store to obtain antibiotics, you should look for one that is labeled for the treatment of bovine respiratory disease, specifically against Manheimia and Pasturella. Hope this helps.

Hello. Your animal has pneumonia or possibly a lung abscess. This needs to be properly diagnosed by a veterinarian so the appropriate medication can be started. We are unable to recommend any medications on this site. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If you think Cotton Ball is in need of an antibiotic for a infection, I would recommend having him examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate antibiotic can be recommended. Antibiotics such as Convenia and Doxycycline are good choices for antibiotics when treating respiratory infections. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Hello. What you need to find out is if the diarrhea is due to new grass, a virus ( BVD ) or parasites. Because she is pregnant, you do want her as healthy as possible to maintain her pregnancy. If she has never been vaccinated, your vet can determine what the best product to use in your herd ( & this also depends on if your here is dairy or beef ). Pfizer's Bovi-Shield is safe to use pregnant cows if they were vaccinated last year. Your vet is the best resource to determine if she needs worming or other treatment that will not impact her pregnancy. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hi, and thanks for your question. This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or possibly to a rhinitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. If this answer was helpful please let us know, this will be used to improve our service!

If the bronchitis is secondary to infection, then the antibiotics should resolve the infection. Once the infection is resolved, the inflammation should resolve as well. The "other medicines" may be anti inflammatory meds and possibly cough meds which will help relieve symptoms.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. If Toodie is still suffering from a respiratory tract infection, I would recommend rechecking with the veterinarian and consider additional testing such as culturing the respiratory tract to see if there is a resistant bacteria. If you want to start an antibiotic, I would recommend starting Doxycycline and if there is no improvement, consult with the veterinarian and have Toodie examined for further recommendations in regards to diagnostics and treatment. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
