Observation

Round, hairless patches that appear on the body and rarely on the limbs. It is very contagious condition, for humans as well, hence the necessity to isolate the affected animals and to take precautions to prevent the spread of the disease.

Cause:
Calves and heifers fall victim to the virus when weakened. It may appear after vaccination or in periods of weight gain. Young stocks are especially vulnerable in periods of over feeding, causing excess nutrients to be expelled from the body, or in periods of high humidity.

Treatment

RINGSOL once a day for 3 days, then once a week. 3 weeks should be enough. However, if the animals have a weakened immune system, give VIRALSOL with RINGSOL. If they are in a period of weight gain, give MOD1SOL with RINGSOL until recovery (usually one month is enough). Preventively, give their neighbours, or new arrivals one dose.

Mites

Observation

Infestation by mites digging nests near the ears or tail, causing itching.

Cause:
Affects animals with a weakened immune system, or an excess of quickly digesting energy (metabolic Type no.1) or excess of nitrogen which overloads the liver and the elimination organs (metabolic Type no.5).

Treatment

RINGSOL, once a day for 3 days, then once a week until recovery, usually, one month is enough. However, if the animals have a weakened immune system, give VIRALSOL with RINGSOL. If the animal is affected by acidosis, give MOD4SOL with RINGSOL. If the animal suffers from toxic overload, give LIVERSOL, once before RINGSOL and DRAINSOL afterwards. Preventively treat their neighbours or any new arrivals with one dose.

Scabies

Observation

Contagious skin illness caused by mites digging tunnels in the skin to lay their eggs. Small blood vessels erupt causing severe itchiness.

Cause:
Same as ringworm.

Treatment

Same as ringworm.

Warts

Observation

The four most common types of warts are squat, pendulated, flat and tags. They appear as raised hairless lesions (varying in size from a pea to a tennis ball). It is common for large warts to bleed especially by rubbing which can, in some instances, lead to bacterial infection that may require treatment. In chronic infections some animals may lose condition, be stunted and very rarely death may occur.

Cause:
Common consequence of vaccination, which develops sycosis or toxin retention through construction; weakened immune system (often after vaccines or antibiotics).

Treatment

WARTSOL in the morning and MOD1SOL in the evening for 3 days, then once a week until recovery; it can take up to 6 months if there are numerous warts. For difficult cases or weak immune systems, use VIRALSOL and WARTSOL.
