[QUOTE="T-Bro, post: 214102, member: 3850"] Hello everyone, my friend bought a calf at the local sale barn (35$). You could tell something was wrong with her, she looked very feeble. He had to half carry/ walk her to the trailer, she was bloated and her eyes were covered in a milky film. I didn't think that she would live through the night, but he wanted to try. After a round of penicillin and B-complex, she took a 1/4 bottle of milk replacement, then 1/2 bottle, and now she is taking a full bottle. Her eyes have cleared and she is moving around just like any calf. She bumps into things occasionally, but I think she actually has some vision now. My buddy says that he's going to get a bell to hang on another bottle calf's neck so she can follow her around. I'm still not sure what he's going to do with her, but I don't think his wife and kids will let us eat her. Anyway, is the blindness common/ or have a common cause that anyone know of. I'd be interested to find out why this happened. Maybe something the cow ate, cow got sick, ?? Anyway, just thought it was a nice story some would enjoy. [/QUOTE]
