3 Month Heifer Sick...

[funky 4-Her]

We have a 3 monh old holstein heifer that recently got sick. She has liquid manure and a snotty nose... She still has an appetite and is drinking. Any idea what the problm could be???

Ok. I looked it up. Also, she has red spots on her nose.....

So which one is worse? I need to get my boss to call the vet, a lot of his milking herd has snotty noses. Is there a possiblity that they all just have a cold. Also the older heifers have ringworm...

Runny noses is just part of the deal with cows and winter.

I lean towards IBR for the heifer but BVD is always a possibility
