(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
Field next to cows was sprayed with product on Aug 18/08. Possibly blown into their pasture. Could have been ingested, on grass, or blown onto their skin. On Aug 22/08, one lactating female cow had signs of drooling, foaming, respiratory distress, tremors, paresis. Other cows were not affected. Dr. (name) called to discuss the case. He said since the field was sprayed on 8/18, and the signs started on the 22nd, plus other cows were not affected, signs are more likely due to primary respiratory disease. Patient was brought to the clinic and treated with Micotil. Lab results were pending. Aug 29/08, the cow's breathing improved by 70% as per owner Tuesday 8-19.
