    Calf with a couple of problems.

    The vet said twist it until it comes off and give him a couple shots of Penicillen. She didn't sound like it was even anything unusual. So the wound is draining and I sprayed some BluKote on it.

    Calf with a couple of problems.

    I have a bottle calf with a couple of problems. The first is he was banded the end of February at a week old and it still hasn't fallen off. That really doesn't bother me but this does. I can't explain it so look at the pictures. The second thing is, he has some sort of bug or something-he is...

    Tetnus Doseage?

    Lucky, maybe she was wrong but I don't think so. She is the most knowledgeable vet I have found. What are the sypmtoms of Clostridium perfringens? Because this calf had short, hard breathing just lying in a heap. Vet said that is when the muscles of the lungs start tightening and...

    Tetnus Doseage?

    I have "Clostridium Perfringens Types C & D Tetanus Toxoid" The vet said it came from either tagging or banding which we do on day one, so I figured we could give a tetanus shot on the same day. I'm tired right now but I don't understand this sentence. Eta- I just now noticed it does say...

    Tetnus Doseage?

    On Saturday, we lost a calf to a very fast acting tetnus. It was totally normal and 2 hours later it was dead. The vet said she sees these cases VERY rarely but has seen 5 this year. The tetnus spores are much bigger/stronger after a warm dry winter such as we have had this year. Needless to...

    Weak Back Legs?

    Sorry about not answering sooner. I went out to check on him Monday, and he was in terrible shape. I was gonna call the owner when he pulled up with a stock trailer. He told me he had been coming every day to check on him and yes he did bring the vet one time. His buddy unloaded a horse and they...

    Raising twins

    We have a big cow (when people see her from the distance, they think she is a bull) and she has had two sets of twins in 6 pregnancies. She always has very easy labors and raises her calves wonderfully. I don't know if it makes a difference, but she is mostly Salers. (sp?)

    Banding or Castration?

    I always band on day 1 and have never had a problem.

    Weak Back Legs?

    No the vet hasn't see the calf but the owner called the vet and described what was going on. I don't think it would be a plant or mineral because we are very careful about those things.

    Weak Back Legs?

    Well I just talked to the owner who had just talked to the vet, and the vet said he just hurt his legs from horsing around. So no worried I guess. :)

    Weak Back Legs?

    My neighbor has some cows on my land and today there is one with weak back legs. Here are a couple videos showing what is going on. Terrible videos but I think they are enough to give you the general idea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgfeQa1h ... e=youtu.be...
