First time question...
I have a calf who was badly roughed up on its date of birth last Wednesday, by my donkey a two year old Jack. I have not had a problem before this and have moved him out of the field where the cows are calving.
Here is my question, I am giving milk and penicillin and calf seems to be progressing. However, the skin on the back of the neck feels stiff like a corpse. It has gotten no better or worse over the week. I have never seen anything like it...
Any thoughts or suggestions. I have the mother in the barn with the calf, she is doing all she can to encourage calf. Just wanted to know if anyone had seen anything like this or had any ideas.
Thanks
