[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 264936, member: 2308"] Because of the lung problems, I would say that this is likely a premature calf. One of the last organs to develop before birth is the lungs. That could be what the problem is. If his coat is pretty short as well that would be an indication that he is premature. The earliest full term calf that we ever had was 17 days early (AI calf), she was healthy. Of course the fact that he was stuck in a badger hole for quite a while would definitely cause problems, even in a full term calf. I have never given micotil to that young of a calf, but it would probably not hurt and may get ahead of whatever is bothering his lungs. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
