So I brought home a dairy replacement heifer on Saturday. It is Monday as I post this. She's about 2 weeks old. I'm unsure of her shots from the breeder I got her from either.
She had diarrhea before we brought her home and we are working on stopping that with Re-Sord and probiotics meant for cattle. She seems to be panting with her tongue out. Not super heavy panting but mouth breathing with tongue out a bit. It's around 45°F and windy at the moment. She's in a barn with a heat lamp and a blanket and straw bedding. Her eyes are clear. Her nose has white/very very pale green snot running out too. Sounds stuffed in the throat/nose and not in the chest. This animal is a 4-H animal too.
She finishes her bottle of milk and likes to chase me around the pen when I go from one area to another so she still has energy.
Any suggestions on what may be wrong?
Sorry for shattered info!
