[QUOTE="Andi of Longmeadow, post: 403805, member: 6693"] Good afternoon all! I am new to these boards, but not new to cattle farming. Have a holstein/Angus mix calf, (Mom had blocked udders thus not feeding calf) Have been bottle raising, usual amount of milk replacer (1 qt. x 2 a day) but calf has had at least 5 grand mal seizures. Head goes back, legs stiff, slight bloat etc.....before being bottle fed. Vet gave Thiamine and vitamins. Today she had a bad one, and vet tried Phenobarbital. We can't find any information on calf seizures/ convulsions. We are trying to rule out everything. Fly spray? Milk Replacer? Distemper? Have anybody ever heard of this? She seems very hungry, started eating a bit of calf mix grain. Wants water. I am afraid she might not make it, but there she goes hopping around, and kicking sometimes.

ETA: After reading through some of the posts, I know you all obviously see me as a "newbie" ~ I am not sure what to do with this heifer, but just trying to find any help from anybody that might have had this. Thanks again for your thoughts and insights. [/QUOTE]
