Thanks for the replies. I have had her over a week now and no changes in feeding! She drinks plenty eats minimal hay. I gave her a second round of nuflor for the snotty nose. This calf must weigh around 325lbs, she does not appear ill other than the sotty nose(no coughing,droopy ears, etc). I...

Hey all I recieved a calve approx 8months old? She stands about four and a half foot tall, aliitle thin, and has wrye face/neck. She appears inquistative! I have not heard her moo. I don't know her history so I gave her a deworming shot and a shot of nuflor(yellow snotty nose). No respiratory...

I agree w/ Dun Grass tetany or some sort of mineral deficiency. Are you supplementing with some sort of minerals? Did you ever give any vitamin shots? How about deworming meds?

YEAH!! Congraduations. So, what was the problem and the solution? Speaking from experience keep a close watch on the calf. They can perk up for a few days then crash hard.

If it was a young calf then it was possible it never got over the initial infection. I have seen many a calf recieve a couple of days of antibiotics and die within a week.

Pneumonia, upper resp infections(URI) are the common illnesses in cattle.unless its a small calf a temp is out of the question. Do you have a chute in the barn? Yes, put him in it and give some antibiotics (see previous post). No, this is the hard way! have plenty of help, lasso his head and...

WOW! sale barn, culled how old is she?

Sorry for your loss. Thats just one of those crazy things. Cows drop calves in winter all over cold climate areas without anytrouble. Atleast you still have momma healthy.

1. The "seizures" . If not resolved by the vitamin injections listed in the previous replies, could be related to the feeding. What are you feeding it? How much are you feeding it? What is the calfs temp? small amounts more times a day. consistant temp of milk. add 1-2 raw eggs to a bottle for...

WOW!! You are one busy person. They look good and healthy. Do you run into much trouble with two in a pen? How about with the pens being so close together?- the scours can go a long ways.

How old is the calf? What is the stool looking like? you can put some honey in the bottle if its to hard. Otherwise get hopping on the bloat or you won't have to bottle feed anymore.

do you have her in a pen? sometimes walking the acres doesnt help that straining

i would work on his nutrition proein,vitamins,electrolytes. protiens are easy- even if you breaksome egggs for him. vitamins via injection- vit a,d +e. your doing the lytes with the probios. help his elimination by deworming him. also give a good helping of honey with his hay/grain.

pour the antibiotics and the milk to him

what have you been treating them with? for chronic resp relapses i have dosed a macrolide antibiotic with good success.

TOTALLY AGREE WITH ALICE. aggresively treat the bacteria with antibiotics. no steroids. while your working on the selenium. good luck with the calf

more information of the cow age,breed, and how long have you been noting the weight loss? short of more details i would post some pics on here especially of that lump and you'll get bites. good luck eotherway

it sounds nutritional..........did the calf drink much water? 2 quarts of milk replacer is insufficent at 2 months old. then compound her lack of fluids by the scours and you really get into a negative balance. are there any problems absorbing vitamins in your area? do you have some minerals out...

what breed of cattle? sorry for your loss
