I was at a couple of seminars this fall and this was discussed . It sounds like mycoplasma and at the one seminar the vet there said that by the time you see the head tilt and a ear hanging low it is to late . It is a tough bug to kill and being deep in the ear canal does not help . The other vet rasies calves for a coop of 6 farms and they give LA-200 5cc/100# SQ for Mycoplasma as soon as the calves arrive from the farms { 2 to 3 days old } . They have not had a problem since ?
