[QUOTE="shadyhollownj, post: 734287, member: 9320"] Well she doesnt have he runs but there is host of other problems. We gave her a shot of bose (selenium and b12) and shot of steroids to build her immune system the vet gave us. He wasnt that concerned with the blood in the urine until he seen the sample. It could be a rare kidney disease or a broken blood vessel from labor. That is his main concern. The not sucking thing is probably just a dummy calf thing that we are hoping goes away one days. The tubing twice a day isnt that great of a job. If you looked at her though you would not think anything is wrong with her. She stands and walks and moos just like any other calf we have. We'll see the vet might swing by tomorrow just for informational purposes because he has never seen blood in the urine of such a young calf. Not a billing visit since this heifer is only gonna be freezer beef anyway. I'll keep posting for educational purposes in case anyone runs into this problem in the future. Oh and one question about the heifer mom. Should I try to fatten her up before I take her to the sale barn since she is only 23 months. I didnt know If I was gonna get killed if I take her all bagged up and not finished at all. I would rather not deal with her for another two months but if its gonna cost me .60 or .80 I might have to feed her some. [/QUOTE]
