Thanks for the advice. Yea our vet told us that if we get a new baby to call him and he will come out and give him checking out and give him all his shots. Also told us to keep him and Red apart to make sure the new guy is not carrying anything that Red might get and set him back in his uphill...

I would have been back on before tonight but M-Thr I work till 2 AM and am dog tired when I get home :lol: and for some unknown reason Red has decided that he just has to have a bottle when I get home at 2 AM. If I just come on in the house he stands out there and cries till he wakes everyone...

Yes Red will be getting a new buddy, but for right now he has made buddies with our blueheeler :o . Very cute pair ( will try and get some updated pics of Red and see if I can not get the two of them together in one picture at least :lol: ) Fred did not do any of the above. It was really...

Thanks Alice. We would like to think that with everyones help here and what the vet came and done was everything that we could do for Fred. We really thought we would have lost Red and not Fred. Red was the one who looked worse of the two. We will make sure that from now on that the navels...

Great posts!!! I will add these items to my med chest. We live in the middle of gods country where there is no cell phone service :( and the nearest feed store is over an hour away :( and the vet is 45 minutes in the other direction :shock: so everyone ideas have been great to give us...

Thanks everyone for your warm words during our time of lose. You all have been a wonderful bunch of people and we feel that the information that was offered here has been of great help. Red is not being kept in a pen. He has open range of the yard and shed. So far Red is thriving and doing very...

I have been told to keep: LA200 Anti inflamatory Needles & Syringes Epinphrine Mineral Oil Alcohol Iodine Electrolytes Nulflor What else would a person need to keep to help treat your animal till the vet can arrive :?:

I found this site back in Jan. 2007 when doing an internet search on teaching calves to tie and walk, prepping calves for FFA show, and on bottle babies. I found this site to be full of knowledgeable information. I came to the site on a almost daily basis to see what was new and how things where...

We as a family would like to Thank each and everyone of you all for your help. You all have been wonderful. Did get our vet out a little before 11 PM. We where told it's Fly Strike & Pnuemona. He gave him some Nulflor and something else (right now I'm not thinking right, sorry). He was resting...

Thanks for the update on items to keep on hand. We have a wonderful relationship with our Equine vet, but that is all that she works with. She is mobile and does a wonderful job with our equine, we just love her here at the farm. She has been a blessing to us. There are two Bovine vets in our...

Thanks for your reply Sir Lion. I was hoping that his new pictures would help with maybe someone being able to tell what his problem is at this point. The only reason I want the maggots gone is they get all over me and I have heard that they can eat a calf alive pretty much. So figured get rid...

Almost have all the maggots gone :oops: this has been a battle this afternoon/evening. Hard to believe that yesterday we did not see any on him and today he has them :mad: . We thought that maybe he had gotten some pnemonia, and was hoping this was not the case. Also thought that maybe he...

Thanks Alice once again you have been very helpful with this problem. I just came back in from spraying with Clorox, hoping if there are any germs it will help to kill them and also hoping it will kill those little white nasty maggots. I have moved "Fred" from this location of the shed and...

what do I use to kill all those nasty little white maggets? He has been cleaned up and has a few bare spots. I will put something on those bare areas to keep the bugs off and keep it soft. Sure hope the hair will grow back. I found this site back in Jan. 2007 and have really enjoyed reading on...

:D Thanks Alice. Just thought I would let everyone see the babies so that everyone knows what we are dealing with. I will keep everyone updated on what is happening with "Fred". Thanks again for your help.
