Farmerjan: I took him to the vet yesterday. He has sepsis. She did some blood work on him and his white cell count is high, so his bodies fighting it, but she said his chances still aren't good. She gave him a shot of injectable colostrum, batril, and Dex. We're supposed to give him the second...

I have not had to buy calf milk in so long that I wasn't even aware they made changes until someone here mentioned it. The bag I got with the calf didn't have any ingredients listed on it but I trusted the people I got him from knew the difference as they've been raising cattle for years...

Diesel I believe you missed something somewhere. What I said was: when my family had him, he was walking. When they put him in the barn, after two days he went down. He was down when I got him, so no, it isn't anything I'm doing. The only thing I'm doing is trying to figure out why went down...

Hmm. I honestly never thought about that. What's the best milk replace out there? I can change it, that's not a problem. And if that's the case how do I fix the allergy part of it? We are going to the vet tomorrow so I'll add this to my list to go over with him and get his thoughts on everything.

The people I got him from we're feeding him one pint every four hours. When I got him I moved it up to two pints twice a day (worried about scours). After talking to folks on here I raised his milk intake to the recommended 2 qts twice a day. Sorry for the confusion. So we went from a half...

No

That's what they said. He would be retarded but I'm just having a hard time believing that. And, no, he's not a pet for the kids, they have enough of those. I just feel like he may have been misdiagnosed. What could have caused him to go from walking and "playing with the dog" to down and can't...

From what they told me he was getting one pint every four hours. That's why we bumped it to two when we brought him home but now we're up to a full bottle and he's still alert, eats well, potties normal. I'm hoping we can find the problem soon. My vet was swamped on Thursday and out of the...

Honestly, I ask myself that same question. My goal is to try and give him the best life I can. The day I took him they were going to put him down. Now I'm just trying to figure out what happened in those two days in the barn. He was walking before, no one (my family) seems to know why he...

Farmerjan: Im going to do that. I've been thinking of that myself but I'm just so afraid of killing him by trying to make him better. He can't possibly weigh more than 75 lbs right now. I did call my vet today and he gave me a dose of multimin90 and said he thinks it's a vitamin deficiency. If I...

hHello everyone. I have a ten day old bull calf. He can't walk and I'm not sure what it is. The folks we got him from said the vet told them he had a lack of oxygen at birth and one side of his brain will never work but with some tlc the other side will take over but he will forever be a...
