Show Did I run into a batch of early winter weather when I was making my regular regu-lar November swing through the cow country! Makes my knees knock yet, just to think about it. You see, I plain forgot to take my woolies along ... and it wasn't long till my bones were rattling like the brake rods of a Model T. Well, even though I got smart asighty quick and invested in heavy socks, warm gloves and long-handled long-handled underwear, I ended up in a hotel room with a fine case of pains, aches and sniffles. I was ornery as a sick goat till the local M. D. broke it up for me with penicillin. Being bedfast, I had lots of time to think. If exposure to cold weather ia that hard on an ordinarily healthy guy like me (who should know enough, in the first place, to pile on extra jeans when the snow flies)... then, is it any wonder that animals, with no extra coats to slip into, have such a rough time of it when the mercury starts skidding? Sure, it's hard on your stock when the weather changes suddenly... and I'm sure you've had plenty of expert ence with two of their commonest winter ailments: shipping-fever pneumonia in cattle, and strangles in both horses and mules. Did you know, though, that one of the best treatments for both infections is just what the doctor gave me for my cold penicillin? In treating shipping-fever pneumonia or strangles, you could use water-soluble water-soluble penicillin... but I've a hunch you'll prefer longer-acting Cutter P.O.W. (Penivet in Oil and Wax). P.O.W. keeps effective levels of penicillin pen-icillin in the blood stream longer and that adds up to fewer injections to do the job. Recommended dosage of P.O.W. for treating either strangles or shipping-fever pneumonia: a single dose of 1,000,000 units for mature animals; a single dose of 600,000 units for colts or calves. Repeat in 24 hours, if necessary, until the infection is well under control. I'll be seeing you in '49 ... in the neantime, have a swell Christmas, Qi4fi |
