I had a calf die yesterday. It was born on Monday, I brought it in Tuesday as it was feverish and weak.
Upon closer examination, I found blood drops on it's ears, neck and nose. I thought I had injured it slightly when bringing it in. It also had tons of mucous from it's mouth and nose.
I treated it with penicillian, gave it milk replacer, got mom in. It sucked the bottle, but would not get up on it's own. Even for a sick calf, it acted stupid, dull, stiff. Mom is a good mom, but I never saw the calf nurse at all, or really try too.
Yesterday afternoon it was dead. It had a bloody nose and had bled from it's eye. It was only one eye and nostril on the same side of it's head. No blood in manure or urine that I could tell.
Mom had been vaccinated the day before birth with Cattlemaster 4+, 7 way clostridal and pink eye.
I don't know if it had a disease, or maybe it had some kind of head injury from a birth injury or what. Any ideas?
