[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1793554, member: 38590"] I'll take a swing at it, but this one is right in [USER=12607]@Lucky_P[/USER] 's wheelhouse. If he gives a different answer from mine, you should listen to him. I agree with Lithuanian Farmer on the liver dysfunction. The bladder is definitely inflamed and you can see little hemorrhage spots on the inside. I can't say I've ever cut open a healthy three day old calf for reference, but I think the umbilical vessels should have shrunk down more than that as well. All of it fits with an umbilical infection that traveled to the bladder and liver. I know the calf was on antibiotics, but some times the bugs win. Edited to add: Looks like fibrin on the surface of the lungs and peritoneum, too. The bacteria got into her bloodstream and colonized just about everything. [/QUOTE]
