I dropped a round bale in the feeder and "Norman" didn't move in time ;needless to say I had to do mouth to snout CPR to a 3 month old calf, but he survived.Now the dog comes with me when I feed.

How much do you get for a BSE test from the government?Also I thought they changed things that there must be neurological symptoms to qualify as too many people were abusing the system. It happens sooner or later, doesn't make it any easier though.

I hate to get in the middle of a, can I be stupider than my previous post but,for those that think you can substitute feedings with crap that was fed thirty years ago need to WAKE UP!!!Times have changed get with it or throw in the towel. EFSA opinion on the BSE related public health risks of...

I haven't really looked into that brand but noticed the other day that alot of different flyers are coming from are vacc. supplier it seems to me that a lot of companies are changing their programs this year and are offering alot of incentives to sign up.Different rewards for the amount of...

I came in too late to see the previuos posts about how serious this is getting.NUFLOR and PREDEF follow all instructions on the bottles keep calves in a well ventilated clean area and if it is that cold put little sweaters(Not joking it does really help) on "Susie and Friday" to keep there...

Have seen that before<referring to Bez's post and the same is somewhat true about Nuflor> but Micotil is kind of obsolite it has been so overused in the past that it no longer even helps to treat the smallest infection.Move on to the better more effective meds.

I have seen that too.It is colostrum fecal waste or as Alice said poop.You will see it more common in calves out of older cows as there colostrum is usually a rich syrupy yellow color.To me that is a good thing it means they are getting alot of nutrition right off the bat.However if the calf is...

Does it look like the milk vain?She could have a ruptured milk vein or an injury of it some how.Not really sure of the treatments though it has been a while since of have seen a cow with a ruptured milk vein.Can you post a pic?If she at all in any way have an elevated temperature and not quite...

This is the first time I saw the pics and I would agree also hematoma. Lancing without knowing what the heck you are dealing with could result in infection or death. Syd

Isn't it funny how we can bicker and diasagree or go off topic for 3 or 4 pages( not this one but thinking of a few in the past that ened up completely not on topic) and then the original poster does not reply back for days or not at all.Makes ya kinda go hmmmmm?

Sorry Alice I should hve put that in my post I didn't mean to sound like you were advocating something that should not be used.So we are on the same page <Ask the Vet> the only person who really knows ;But I gotta say that sometimes you just have to go with your gut.A couple of times I have...

Don't give selenium unless you know that it is a deficiency.The calf may be getting enough selenium elsewhere and to much selenium causes the same symptons as not enough.Call your vet it may have a parasite or bacterial infection.Is it still eating the same amount and was it ever sick as a young...

I have been reading an awful lot about giving your calf a shot of selenium if they look sick "oh no dificiency".If you are in an area where there is a selenium deficiency then you need to make sure that you have a good mineral program and that cows in calf get that shot of selenium before they...

Lucky Penny see if you can contact Ontario Agriculture.They have a web site and you should be able to find out who your rep for your area is.This may have to wait until Monday though.Your rep should know the area of all the outbreaks and be able to tell you if it can be carried on by...

I have seen crypto posted before but was wondering if anyone knows if calf guard or collimune work to protect new calves if treated within the first 12 hoours of life?

I have read many times on the board about probios especially from Alice.So I was wondering if anyone in Alberta new where you can get them.As I had not heard this term before reading it on this board and it sounds like it would be benifical to give to my calves that I have to medicate. Thanx Syd.
