[QUOTE="lmp570, post: 655607, member: 6510"] havent visited the website in a while, so the update is past due. i had to put down the calf. front leg joint was swelling and turned hard. had him on anit-biotics for 3 weeks then on steroids for 1 week, with minimal improvment. still weak and lame. only thing i can think of was that the navel got infected and i somehow missed it. i shouldve sprayed it with iodine, but thats a mistake i wont make again soon. i guess this was just an expensive lesson for an inexpierenced farmer. ONE MORE THING... im still getting mixed messages on my question on the calves' mother. when the calf was born her udder was so big i had to milk her down several times so the calf could nurse. i would hate to cull her cuz she gives an excellant calf, so my question is, can she pass this disorder on to her heifer calves in the future or is it not genetic? any literature on this would be excellant! thanks ppl.
