Kindly give some more signs coz cattle don't catch flu. It could be flu like symptoms but the best is to seek attention from the nearest veterinary officer for immediate check. You could be having case of advance E.C.F . You however need farm visit by qualified persons for further diagnosis and treatment

Should be put on long acting oxytetracycline and multivitamin. Adamycin 30% or 20% should sort that out. Otherwise if pneumonia observed then penstreo or betamox can do multivitamin is a must in either way.
