Give for the correct number of days and at the correct time

Seven
tips for
proper
drug
treatments
Evaluate the
cow’s condition
before treating
Some cows may be too sick to
recover from an illness. Ask your
herd veterinarian to evaluate any
cows you are concerned about
before deciding to treat.
Determine the
right treatment
Review written protocols or
prescriptions for common diseases
and follow the instructions that
address the cow’s illness. You need
to have the right medicine to treat
the disease.
Give the
correct amount
For most medicines, not all cows get
the same amount. Carefully estimate
the cow’s weight in order to give the
correct amount of medicine.
Give for the correct
number of days and
at the correct time
A cow might start to improve before
the protocol is complete, but you
must give all the doses prescribed
so the cow fully recovers.
The dairy’s owner is counting on you
to provide the best care for the cows.
If a cow gets sick, it is your responsibility
to properly treat the animal and use
medicines according to the label to bring
her back to good health. Here are some
tips to follow when a cow gets sick:
Give the treatment
in the correct way
There are several ways for cows
to receive medicine. Make sure
you understand the differences
and do only what the label or
prescription says.
Keep accurate
records
After treating a cow, record all the
information about the treatment.
This will help the veterinarian and
herd manager know how well
treatments are working.
Ask for help
If you don’t understand any part
of the protocol, medicine label
or prescription, don’t guess. Ask
your manager or herd veterinarian
for help.

Evalúe la condición
de la vaca antes del
