[Clinical indications of an auxiliary effect of antihistamines (parenteral benadryl) in the treatment of RSV infections of cattle].
The BRSV-infection belongs to the Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) complex. Because of its clinical features as well as pathomorphological and histopathological lesions it can be considered an independent disease. Therefore, concepts of treatment deviating from conventional BRD have to be applied. In addition to antibiotic therapy, therefore, the effect of treatment with the antihistamine Diphenylhydramin (Benadryl-parenteral, Parke Davis) was checked. For the evaluation the internal body temperature was used as measure. With the additional daily application of the antihistamine to the antibiotic therapy the animals were faster without fever. The difference was significant.
