Is there a cure for Blackleg?
There really isn't a treatment for Blackleg, since it is a highly fatal disease, except for giving the calf massive doses of penicillin or tetracyclines when the disease is in the early stages. This will sometimes help, though most cases the calf perishes anyway, and those calves that do get blackleg will die before you have a chance of knowing that they even got it.The best thing to do is to have a prevention program against blackleg in your herd. This means vaccinations; the recommendation is to vaccinate all calves that are about 3 to 4 months of age, followed by a second shot or booster vaccination when they are 12 months of age. In endemic areas (or areas where the bacteria Clostridia chauvoei are highly prominent), calves should be vaccinated when they are about 1 month of age. A natural resistance tends to develop when they reach 2 years old.
What will cause a 2 month old calf to die?
