[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 981300, member: 5601"] Candee, I have reviewed your video and can see no signs of any problems what so ever that could be associated with a pre-purchase condition. I don’t thing you could ask for a healthier looking calf. How you bought this little guy for $5 is beyond all comprehension, unless of course you are one terrific piece of eye candy. But don’t tell your hubby I said that! Therefore, I now feel there is only about a 10% chance his condition is pre-purchase related. With that in mind, IMO what happen to this little guy most likely happened after purchase. The only other thing of interest in your video is that it appears you are pasturing him, as a orphaned un-weaned calf with mature cows. Correct me if I am not seeing a fence between them. This is dangerous as he has no momma of his own to suckle he may have attempted to suckle another cow and got kicked/head butted and injured. This could injure any number of vital organs resulting in inflammation and infection of the abdominal cavity. IMO you may be dealing with an injury as the cause of the infection. And as he has been down for a week now I would start a physical therapy program with him in addition to rolling him over daily. Just a little more food for thought for our local wolf pack.
