Has a two month calf die Sunday morning. Not sure why.
Calf was a freebie with a broken leg. I got it about a week after it was born. It scoured up when I first got it, but then the scours cleared up.
Its been on 12% creep and calf manna.
Its been a little sick for about a week, it was on day four of antibiotics. I first noticed it was week and put it back on the bottle and started electrolytes and and antibiotics. I didnt notice any scours, but it might have been.
Sat evening I found it by the feeder lethargic and not moving. It looked like it had been having siezures. I fed it some milk replacer with lots of water. It perked up a bit, but still wasnt moving anything other than its eyes and ears and couldnt hold it head up. A few hours later I gave it electrolytes. About 30 minutes later it had a siezure and started kicking violently. About every hour or so it would do this. I gave it electrolytes until it was urinating. I checke don it about 4 AM Sunday and it was the same. I checked again about 630 and it had just died. There was no fever.
Prior to Sat evening it was running around and eating with all the others.
Any ideas.
