How to prevent and treat parasites Livestock herds and individual animals should be de-wormed twice a year: once in the spring and once in the fall. This will help prevent parasites such as roundworm, flukes and tape worm from taking hold in your herd, causing illness.
Work with your veterinarian to develop a deworming schedule of your own, or refer to the following de-worming schedule.
Spring season deworming Cows, bulls and calves need to be treated with deworming medication 6 weeks after parasites are known to emerge in your area. Depending on where you live, the timing could be earlier in the spring or later. Contact your local ag extension agency to find out what time of year the most common parasites begin propagating and time your deworming schedule from there.
Sometimes a second treatment is needed to kill all of the parasites. Wait until 12 weeks after first exposure to parasites to administer the second parasite treatment.
Fall season deworming Cows, bulls and calves need to be treated with deworming medication in the fall after the first big frost, or “killing” frost. A “killing” frost is defined here as one that would be cold enough to kill a tomato plant. If you live in an area where there is no frost, or rare frost events, time your second annual deworming around Thanksgiving.
As always, check with your veterinarian to make sure there are not additional actions you need to take to properly rid your herd of parasites.
Cattle vaccines and antibiotics Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information published. However, it remains the responsibility of the readers to familiarize themselves with the product information contained on the product label or package insert.
Biologicals : Vaccines, bacterins, toxoids, and anti-Serums Biologicals are products designed to stimulate an animal’s immune system in response to an invasion of viruses or bacteria. Make sure to read product labels and avoid off-label use of products. Also be aware of the withdrawal time after administering animal biologicals, that is, the length of time you must wait after using a vaccine or antibiotic before you can safely use milk or meat from the animal.
Biologicals include vaccines, bacterins, toxoids and anti-serums. Read below for a list of common animal vaccines, bacterins, toxoids and anti-serums:
Antibiotics An antibiotic is a drug that controls or kills bacteria in the animal’s body. Antibiotics only work against bacteria and not against viruses. The numbers that appear in the names of injectable antibiotics refer to the amount (in milligrams) of drug in each milliliter of the product. Long- vs. Short-Acting Penicillin –Benzathine is an ingredient added to penicillin to make it last longer in an animal’s system. Any penicillin product containing Benzathine will be a long-acting product and so will have a longer withdrawal time.

What Conditions Can Be Treated With Antibiotics, And What Are The Best Options?
To treat a gastrointestinal infection such as gastroenteritis, SMZ Sulfa Trimethoprim and Biomax are excellent options. If the infection is bacterial, an antibiotic is in order.
To treat an eye infection, such as uveitis, conjunctivitis, or an inflammatory condition, oral antibiotics are often useful. Your vet will probably also prescribe an ointment or an ophthalmic solution.
When treating a bladder or urinary tract infection, veterinarians frequently prescribe Baytril, Viceton, Cefpodoxime, or Zeniquin.
To treat a skin or soft tissue infection, your veterinarian will likely combine topical treatment with oral antibiotics. They may also suggest topical sprays, medicated shampoos, or wipes. For conditions like yeast infections, staph, pyoderma, and other skin or paw conditions, veterinarians often prescribe Zeniquin, Ketoconazole, Cephalexin, or Enroquin.
Treating dental or periodontal disease is easy with options like Antirobe, Clavicillin, Clindamycin, or Metronidazole. Whether your dog’s gums or teeth are the source of the problem, bacteria can cause periodontal or dental infections in dogs of all ages.
When treating a respiratory infection, such as distemper, influenza, or bordetella bronchiseptica, your vet will likely prescribe antibiotics like Trimethoprim, Sulfamethoxazole, Amoxi-Tabs, Ciprofloxacin, or Minocycline.
To treat a wound infection, which can rapidly worsen, veterinarians frequently prescribe Clavamox, Cefpoderm, Albon, or Clindamycin. Creams and other topical products are ideal complements to antibiotic treatment.
Treating an ear infection, such as otitis media, interna, or externa, is relatively easy with the right antibiotic (as long as the infection is associated with susceptible strains of bacteria). Veterinarians often prescribe antibiotics like Tresaderm, Posatex, Amoxicillin, or Simplicef for ear infections.
To treat pneumonia, which is associated with lung or respiratory tract inflammation and bacterial infections, many vets opt for Naxcel, Azithromycin, or Albon.
For bone infection treatment, which are typically associated with Strep (Streptococcus) or Staph (Staphylococcus), your vet might suggest antibiotics. Some infections might require further procedures or even surgery as well. Antibiotic shots are popular for treating bone infections, as are oral medications like Enroquin, Clavamox, Rilexine, and Clintabs.
