Suspected Adverse Reaction. On 31 May 2016 a veterinarian reported that on 27 may 2016 she vaccinated 27 calves and banded bulls. The calves were 1-2 months old. All calves received Vision 20/20, Vista 5, and Ivomec pour on. The bulls were banded and received tetanus toxoid. All calves received Revalor G and 1 Double Barrel Flytag. Within 30 minutes one calf had died with blood coming out of the mouth and white foam coming from both Nostrils. Had another calf show respiratory distress followed by foam coming from both nostrils and was dead by 6pm. The veterinarian necropsied the second dead calf and sent tissues samples for diagnostics. On necropsy the lungs were edematous, intra lobular edema, cranioventral lobes were purple and diffusely heavy (Coded as abnormal necropsy finding). All other tissues appeared normal. The attending veterinarian diagnosed anaphylactic reaction. No more information expected.
