The last two days Blackie has gotten worse. She can hardly stand up and only for a few minutes. Soaked her LF last night then squirted Penicillin on it. She can only walk on the tip of her toe. Couldn't get to the navel soak but did it on Sat. I use gloves, hot water and salt and iodine...

It's that time of year again and I need your folks input again. You have all been very helpful the last few years. I have been cruising the board all night. Loved the "call your vet" thread that was so long. Two years ago we got a day old red angus heifer. Went through pneumonia with her...

Glad you mentioned 8 weeks for a bottle baby Dun as I just looked at another board that said they waited until 6 months and I was feeling very guilty. She is still not eating grain. I will buy some new calfstarter and try again. Kinda hard when I have last years 2 bottle babies who are now 15...

I have a 3ish month old heifer that is a bottle baby. She went through a rough time with navel and joint ill put perserved. She is eating fresh grass and water all day and I have been busy working so she was cut down gradually to one bottle a night. Now she gets nothing until I come home at...

Finally got a chance to get back on here. We were trying to push it up thinking that it was a hernia and my husbands finger poked into the end and he his finger came out wet and smelly. It drained slighlty for a few days. Yesterday I saw 2 inches of whitish cloudy stringy stuff hanging out...

Tried for hours to post a picture. Never the less, Molly's navel is the size of a softball. The pics posted here looked like the swelling was in front of the navel or penis and is just a little bulge. Molly's entire navel is swollen and looks like a round ball. She is very active and normal...

Glad to have seen these pictures. My 3 month heifer who finally got over navel and joint ill has been doing great until about 10 days ago when we noticed that her navel was larger than normal and hard. Before you knew it it had swollen up and now it is the size of a softball, very hard and...

Just wondering if anyone has had any success treating joint ill in a five week old calf? She had navel ill that might not have been treated aggressively enough and has now developed joint ill. Had the vet out. The calf is just finished a course of 5cc of pen for five days and a half cc of...

Molly only gets locked up in her pen at dark and is outside for the day. She is still drinking her bottles of milk but would not drink the any of the five packs of electrolytes so we tubed them into her. Her last day for Banamine was sat night and she is missing it this morning. She is moving...

I am trying to save a calf 5 weeks old with joint ill. Vet has been out. We have been treatingm with Pen G and Banamine and only have two more days. Has anyone had any luck with joint ill? Husband tubed electrolytes this am . But she did not drink her milk bottle tonigt. She has been on...

Sorry, I have been too busy working to post. Thanks for all the replies. I have finally gotten a vet for my 3 cows. I am so relived! And he was very cheap too. Molly has joint ill after she had the navel ill. She is on 5cc of pen g for five days and half a cc of banamine for three days...

Molly is now getting up on her own the last two bottles of today! I have been giving her tetracycline powder in her bottle and we gave her 3 cc of Pen G tonight. Not sure wether to give her more Banamine? She had a half cc last night. Seems to have worked like a miracle. Swelling is down...

Thanks for your replies. Molly has a temp of 102.6. She is still drinking well and today she walked around a little after I helped her get up. Gave her a half cc of banamine for the swelling last night and it sure has helped. She had 5 cc of Pen G on sunday night. How much more could I give...

I have a calf that is three weeks old that went through navel ill and a weeks worth of Nuflor and was doing pretty good. She is a Black Angus that is quite large, pulled her mothers insides out when she was born in a feedlot. She is a little wobbly on her feet and probably got stepped on in...

Glad to hear that the grain should not cause bloat. I will try to weigh some grain so I get an idea of how much a few pounds are. It seems like they will eat whatever I give them. Should they get their grain in one feeding or a couple? I usually bottle them in the morning ( 125g to 4 quarts)...

Am back on line after a computer breakdown. Missed this forum. My two back yard heifers are now 2 month old. They are doing great. Susie beat the pneumonia! Have not been able to bucket feed yet The younger Charolais will bucket but the older Red Angus will not. Just does not get the idea...

No, it's Susie. Are you having trouble bottle feeding one calf? I know I should not go back to the bottle but I am working now and it is too easy to mix up a bottle than to have a bucket of milk all over me! They are eating grass and nibbling at grain but do not drink much water. They sure...

Computer was down for a few weeks. Missed this forum. The calves are doing great. You were all right. I just made the air hole on the lip bigger and the bottles are not caving in. They sure drink alot faster and I was worried for a while but everything is fine. One calf will drink from a...

Don't know if I have too big of a whole or what in my nipples on the milking bottles. One bottle came with the calf and looked older. Every time she drinks, by the time she is done the plastic bottle is sucked right in and now has a crinkle in it and will not go back into shape. Bought a new...

I am a beginner at this. My young calf had pneumonia and I used Micotil. She still did not pick up until after she had 3cc of Nuflor then the same three days later. She has gone from a sickly calf to a wild bucking youngster. I would not use Micotil again, especially after the "experts" on...
