[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1741532, member: 17524"] I'm wondering about navel ill. I have seen calves with navel ill do this. Have you taken the temperature of this calf? That will tell you if it is an infection like navel ill. I hate navel ill. If it is, the treatment that WORKS is something like 5 days of Penicillin 10cc and 5 days at 5cc. (just regular Pen). The bacteria from the navel goes to the joint where it is safe because of poor circulation in the joint. Before we got on a mineral program, we had navel ill and did not know how to successfully treat it. A veterinarian told us about this procedure and it works...but it is for 10 days and do not shorten the time. I did a search and found this. It mentions mineral, do you have your cattle on a mineral program? If not, getting on one reduces these types of things. For us it eliminated navel ill, pneumonia, diptheria, overeating, just everything. Hope this helps! Good luck!
