I have a 7/8 week old holstien bull calf that has been doing great, he is on grain, hay and water and was gaining weight, bouncing around his pen and happy as could be then Friday am I went out to feed and he was laying outside his hutch in the sun (on top of the melting snow) and I tried to coax him up to eat, he tried to get up and fell over, I tried to help him up but he was to heavy for me. My hubby climbed in and the calf tried again to get up but fell over at that point hubby caught him and balanced him untill he got his footing, he then walked and ate, drank and walked around more. I checked his feet and the sole of them are soft and spongy and are peeling. Since then, every morning and evening we have to help him to a standing position and then he walks around and eats and drinks, but he is thin now. He is not scouring, and his appitite is good. Any suggestions what this could be?? And how to treat? I called the vet (don't care for him much he has a "its only a calf" attitude ) and he said maybe the calf froze his feet, or maybe navel infection. He shows no sign of navel but I have treated him with Baytril and Polyflex for 2 days, also gave him Bo-Se on vets recomendation. Any input from you experts is greatly appriciated. Thanks Cathy
