[QUOTE="angie1, post: 637936, member: 3886"] Its not a cleft palate. Presence of blood does not indicate a cleft, it is a malformation, not an injury and there would be other, more significant symptoms (as you mentioned, sucking properly would only be one of them, calves with a cleft cannot produce suction). I would not seperate the calf from the cow. I would also cut back on the milk replacer to encourage nursing from the cow ~ keeping a close eye on it. I cannot guess what the blood might be from. Is very possible it got kicked or bumped by momma, even accidently. If the only concern you have at this time is bloody nose, I would say wait and watch. [/QUOTE]
