[QUOTE="ClinchValley86, post: 1619532, member: 38595"] Had a calf born on the 21st. Had trouble somehow, found him on the ground shaking unable to stand. Brought inside for 18 hours, give 4 quarts of colostrum mix and returned w Momma. He nursed and had been doing good. I didn't give him any meds other than some vitamin mineral paste in his mouth. Noticed last night the re was dried dark stuff on his backside and a spot of nasty looking shitt right by him. Looks like it was runny, clear, mucus like w blood in it. Saw it by flashlight so could be mistaken. Blood was definitely present. Calf was up and alert/curious. Friendly w me. Ears forward, warm and wet nose. Seemed fine. I've seen them w runs before and left them alone, haven't had a problem yet in 5 or 6 years. But this looked like a new one for me. It's been wet as all get out again this winter. Of course, momma had him lying next to a feeder. I spread some hay for him to lay on. Any ideas? Plan to treat him for something when I get home from work. Have penicillin and LA 200 on hand. Can get something else if I need to on the way home. [/QUOTE]
