[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1284884, member: 22236"] Well it's good to hear from some who has actually had it happen. I'm sorry you had it happen, but it's good for me to hear of it. Dad is the only one I've talked to around here that acts like they've ever had the problem before. He's still alive. Keeping him in the barn with Momma and had kept him smeared with Corona for several days. There was some weeping spots still, so I went to just spraying him with screw worm thinking it might let it dry out a little more. Keeping their pen sprayed down with permethrin. If the edges get hard (still losing some skin, falling off where it's dead) I'll go back to Corona a couple days. Called my vet and he said normally a healthy calf won't get them, they'll keep them rubbed off or Momma will keep him licked clean. He's got quite a good little bit of raw area on him. He will get up and follow Momma, sucking, but a little lethargic at times. I'm hoping he doesn't get pneumonia or an infection. He may make it if he don't develop another problem. [/QUOTE]
