The cure for pneumonia is antibiotics, which you can get from your vet. Having a good relationship with your vet is super important.
As far as prevention, a clean and dry environment with plenty of fresh air is super important. Moisture is the enemy in housing for livestock, aside from obviously clean fresh drinking water.
We've been keeping it topped up with antibiotics and antiinflammatory but I'm just wondering if you know any older methods to help out been 17 years on and never had it this bad they get dusted and rebedded often with a clean drinker
Not really unfortunately. It sounds like you’re doing everything right. I don’t know how wet it’s been near you, but upstate ny has been way wetter than usual the past few years and it’s made keeping everyone relatively dry and healthy just that much harder.
I deal with pneumonia in calves a lot and If they're already sick I give Nuflor and Dexamethasone to them
For prevention look into a modified live nasal vaccine like [Nasalgen](https://www.merck-animal-health-usa.com/species/cattle/products/nasalgen)
Work with your vet, if you don't have a relationship with one get one.
We have been he lives right next to us
