[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 21773, member: 220"] :idea: Not sure what your calf has, but noticed on some of our calves that had pnuemonia that they developed a kind of "fever blister" on their noses. Only other time saw anything similar was calves who had frostbitten their noses at birth...although a hard delivery can cause the nose to swell quite a lot. For pneumonia we were treating them with Nuflor and had fairly good results with it, but have had the best results when treating with a drug called Mycotil (but it's very expensive - cost over $300 for a smallish bottle up here). Have to say it was worth it, as only a small dosage was required, and it sure kicked butt on the virus when we treated with it. Mind you, that was before BSE knocked the heck out of the value of our calves... can't say that we can justify the expensive drugs this year if a fall calf doesn't bring much. Also noticed that the fevered calves would repeatedly wander down to a "soupy" wet part of the pen and stand hock deep in it if given the opportunity...could be a natural way of lowering the body temperature during fever? Who knows. Best of luck with your calf. :) [/QUOTE]
