Yes, yesterday was miserable and today looks to be also.

Been a very windy spring here too

Zoetis is helping out, they want to do milk samples on all the cows which seems daunting. Plus we don't really want to stress the calves any more. But we might do it. If we put any more down (probably will) they are going to do more testing on them too.

That has to be tough. Nice they went to a young person and that they want your input.

We are 60 and if we have another spring like this one, or if it continues on all summer we will be thinking of it sooner rather than later.

Yikes, that is crazy!! Who was the ODFW guy?

I would be interested in reading that article, I haven't heard about that

It is ongoing. We got the last one in a 4 days ago. The ones we put down were only 4 -6 weeks old so just buried them. We've had 28 cases so far, 5 were respiratory, the rest were in the joints. It has everyone stumped as it is not acting like it normally does. Our local vets are less than...

Haven't had any pulls for joints in the last several days. Now getting some respiratory cases, so far are responding to treatment. Jury is still out on the joint ones we've been treating.

Good for them!!

No idea, I think it is in most herds but don't know what caused the outbreak.

Oh yay, so glad you are back!!!!! How are you?

WSU confirmed it is Mycoplasma, no navel infection, no respiratory signs. We put 8 down yesterday which just about killed us. None of the vets, including ones at Zoetis recommend the vaccine while we are in an outbreak. We are trying a different treatment protocol suggested by a dairy vet, so...

I have seen this one. Thank you for looking up that old thread , it led me back to Wyoming Rancher who doesn't post here anymore but is a good friend of mine. She has had it in her herd so is a wealth of information .

Amputation...yikes. All we know from WSU so far is that the navels were fine.

They have had alot of Nuflor and Pen.

Because of the joint damage, they are all 3 legged. The youngest one he took, we saw her on tuesday and already they said she is probably bone on bone. Whatever is doing this seems to destroy the cartilage. If you want more reading google 'septic arthritis'. Any time something goes in the...

They say the vaccine is not very effective and can cause problems, also hard on the calves. Mike is Washington State University with some of them. They will euthanize them and try to figure out what is going on. It may not be what is causing it but we sure need to figure out what is and how to...

Have any of you dealt with it baby calves? We think that is what we have going on. We are doctoring 12 calves with swollen joints. They are getting lame at 10 days to 2 weeks old, not responding, have put one down and think we will have to put more down. Any advice is appreciated

Thats what I wondered
