[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1339158, member: 9933"] I thought I would post an update on this calf. I turned her and the cow out with about 25 other pair at the same time I made the above post. She did not have an elevated temperature and I felt pretty confident she wasn't contagious. For the next few weeks, every time I visited that pasture I could hear that loud honking sound from 100 feet away, but otherwise she seemed fine. Then one day I realized I was standing out in the middle of all the calves and I was not hearing her, but I could see her watching me. I had to get really close to hear anything out of the ordinary. From that day on it seemed like she rapidly improved. She seems to have completely recovered now. There is nothing unusual about her breathing anymore. No noise and she breaths at a normal rate. I did not believe this much improvement was possible when I turned her out. It seems odd that she sounded just horrible for almost a month and then in less than a week she seemed to completely recover. Today the cattle were rotating pastures and she stopped only feet away from my ATV to nurse. I watched her and listened very carefully. The last time I heard anything was a few weeks ago and that was when she turned her head way to the side to nurse, but today she moved around and nursed both sides. She sounded like any other normal healthy calf. [/QUOTE]
