Treating coughing in cattle requires a proper diagnosis by a veterinarian. Here's why:
* Coughing can be caused by many things: Infections (bacterial, viral, parasitic), environmental irritants, allergies, heart or lung conditions, and more.
* Treatment depends on the underlying cause: A veterinarian will need to examine the animal, possibly run tests (like blood work or lung cultures), and then prescribe the appropriate medication.
* Self-treating can be dangerous: Incorrect or inappropriate treatment can worsen the condition or mask other symptoms.
If you have cattle that are coughing, please contact your veterinarian immediately. They can help determine the cause of the coughing and recommend the best course of treatment.
