[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 1226333, member: 852"] My first concern in a calf of that age and history would be joint infection(s) secondary to septicemia. Other possibilities, selenium deficiency, congenital joint/muscle problems, congenital heart defects, trauma (head or otherwise)... I'd still consider joint ill though. Might be awhile before lameness becomes apparent. You could take him to your local vet clinic and have them check serum protein for passive transfer status (success of colostrum absorption) and maybe bloodwork to look for evidence of an infection.
