[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 984420, member: 5601"] Candee, Thanks for the up date. Just a little clarification here. When I said “Sounds to me like the calf is suffering from malnutrition.” I did not mean he was not being feed proper nutrition. I meant he was not digesting the feed he was getting and/or was not passing said nutrition into the blood stream and onto the mussel tissue. This most commonly ocures from lesions in the stomach and small intestines. If a blood test tests positive or a recovery to a health normal looking condition within a week or two is made it means his mussel tissue is receiving proper nutrition and he should make a full recovery. When they do not make a full recovery in 15 days then you are most likely dealing with a neurological problem. The max I have ever gone with one like this is 30 days, then I put them down. Has he shown signs of being belligerent or hostile? Does he threaten you in any way? OK so don’t give up just yet and good luck as I too believe in miracles. SL [/QUOTE]
