Watery , sort of glassy you might can save it with the antibiotics shot . Already white they have probably lost it and will be blind in that eye . I have seen a few recover but it’s rare . I’ve battle some cases already this spring. Flys are awful and long stem grass also irritates as they graze .

Brother sent me this today ; tragic .

Cow , heifers , bull in that order

Say no to milk replacer with soy .

You sure she is only 8 ? I’ve seen it happen more with older cows 10+ . Nutrition would be one possible, age , and some type health issue .

Is this friend human or bovine ? Asking for a friend .

Good luck ! We’ve been dealing with this for years . So discouraging. My vet still does a rare farm call but most of the time I have to load on the trailer and take them to him .

Mrs Gizmom can hook you up with a bull . They are in the process of moving so it may be a few days before she can but you can count on her !

Yep , I started this one out on too much cause she was acting starved . 2nd or 3rd day she refused the bottle . So I cut her way back . You learn from your mistakes and pray it doesn’t cost you a calf . Doing good now !

What brand of milk replacer do you use?. Was getting the Dumor brand from tractor supply but on this calf I'm using Land o Lakes brand from my farmers coop .

Thanks MurraysMutts ! I finally found a post from last year . She seems to be doing well and I started with feed today . She usually has some hay in her mouth when I go to feed her . Just didn’t want to take a step backwards with her . I over fed her the first couple of days and she wouldn’t...

Been awhile since I’ve raised one on the bottle. Some of you ole pros ; how much for a month old calf ? Over fed her to start so I’ve been a little afraid to give her too much .Been going up about a half pint every 4-5 days . She’s getting 3 pints , 3 times a day but always seems hungry ...

Feed has crushed limestone in it , I’ve seen some pretty good sized stones/rocks . Most break up pretty easy , I thought maybe she bit down on one and hit a sore tooth ?? No bot flys , no lice , ticks , etc . She was back eating with her sisters today .
