[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 19441"] We've lost 5 calves in the last 4 days and have no explanation. The first calf that died was 12 hours old and was diagnosed with "Purple Gut". Since then 4 calves have expired 2 being newborns and then others being a few days old. Right now have another calf not much more than a few days old in the house which is trying to die. I have spent several hours with that calf today and have not been able to find anything that pulls him out of this. The calf that is still barely alive, it's nostrills have been trying to swell shut and are very red/purple...he has blood seeping in his mouth. Now he has had mothers milk but now we've got him on electrolites and milk replacer. He wont die but he wont get up either. All of the calves have been given "Clostridium Perfringens Types C and D Antitoxin and Bacterin-Toxoid" as they are born and it doesn't seem to be helping. As it all stands we are at about a 25% loss. Does anyone have any idea what may be going on?? [/QUOTE]
