What treatment would you do for the calf?

I have a calf that is 6 days old and noticed tonight that she has a white scour. Been told by neighbors that it could be coccideouses, ecoli, or to much milk. The calf is still very alert and is running around, but still worried about that scour. Another question is that the mom appears to...

I had a calf posted and the result came back salmonella. What is everyones opinion of a better vaccine? Endovac Bovi or 4KC

Yes they are Holsteins. I have been giving them plenty of grain for the fact that the bunks are never empty. Called the vet and he has narrowed it down to the two bacterias. Building is always bedded and and the weather is dry not so much humid, but dry. We wean at about 7 to 8 weeks and...

I am having a problem with my weaned calves. I will have calves weaned close to 3 to 4 weeks when all of a sudden their body condition goes down hill. It is almost as if they are withering away. Some have scours (no blood), so I was treating them for salmonella and coccidiousis, but I do not...

Went home for christmas break and had trouble with sick calves, mostly due to phemonia. The vets said the best drug they used was draxine that had just came out. It is extremely expensive, but well worth the money. It runs about $3.15 a cc. Gave it to 300 pounders and it looked like a...

Do not use predef if she is pregnant. It will cause an instant abortion of the calve inside of her. I would suggest quarter master if you can get her penned-up

I work on a large dairy herd an this is all to common of a situation for us. What we do is use about 12 cc's of a product called animax or duermalone (this is used to cure cats and dogs eyes) than a syringe of today directly in tyhe quarter. We retreat it 24 hours later. Along with the drugs...

Thank you all for you input and I wil retreat the steer today with just LA 200. He is looking better and I have his temp. at 102.2, so I thik I did not do everything wrong. The reason for the banamine was because of the temp. I know you should not give it if they have stomach problems and he...

I am not a professional in this subject, but I have seen it and treated it in a couple of my bosses dairy calves. The symptoms are dropping of the ears and a sudden tilt of the head. Many people mess it up with the idea of ear infection. My boss has treated it with LA 200 and pen. with a...

No brahman. They are holestein angus cross. I like this cross because they still get the size of the holestein and finish out like an angus

There were no breathing problems that I have noticed. I placed him in a lot by himself. Eats feed and drinks water like a perfectly healthy calf. Like I said it seemed ok, but the dropped ear, so I took his temp. and it was a little high.

Thanks for the reply, but what I did will keep it alive you think?

To give as little background I have been buying calves at around 250 to 300 pounds and feeding them out to get myself started. Have been having lots of luck with them and hoping to not have to lose any to death loss, but I do know it DOES HAPPEN. The situation I have is that I check my...

When feeding the calf a bottle try only putting it halfway into it mouth. Sometimes when we have the same problem this helps....

Have you tried a drug known as LS50. We live and die by it with our cattle. It is specialized in helping with scours. We usually vein the calf with this concotion. 20 cc's Ls50 and 5 cc's Tylan 200 in the same syringe 3 cc's b vitamin 2.5 of banamine Look into the calfs eyes...

Do you have a picture of this animal? I am curious to how it looks.

preston39, The only precaution I can think of is to have knowledge of the drug. To have someone know that it is deadly will add extra precaution to the individual using it. For myself I always keep the cap on the needle and place all animals in chute so there is no expected movement...

Becareful with the mycotil. Very helpful to animals, but deadly to humans. 5 ccs of tylan 200 added with 20 cc's of LS50 in the vein will help wonders as well.

How old was the cow and what were the surroundings of the cow? We need more information than just dead and pooped out eyes. Was there any lightning around your area that may have struck a tree the cow was under? How close was she to calving? Maybe the calf was dead inside of her for a while...
