Chart for Scoring Respiratory Diseases

Found this chart to be quite interesting, and possibly very useful.

http://www.vetmed.wisc.edu/dms/fapm/...ring_chart.pdf

I would have to say, that if a calf is at a level 3 for any symptom described, that I would be treating it, though. Not just if it had a total score of 5 or more....

Very useful info you've been posting, Randiliana. I have to say something about the resp. chart photos (the one showing eyes); the "normal" picture doesn't look at all "normal" to me.

No, I know, it is kind of a bulgy eye. But I think that they are trying to show the different types/amounts of discharge more than a normal eye.
