Cause of bloat in 2 month old calf?

[Hook]

Came upon a 2 month old calf as wide as a tick, high on the rumen side. When we first pulled in he was nursing on the cow. The cow normally has A huge bag but it was sucked way down. It's been awful dry, to the point the grass was browning out. But we got lots of rain the last 2 days so the grass has popped.
He's up and around fine. Ears up, etc so we are going to go back this afternoon and check him again and treat as needed.
Is he just a pig or was it the grass? There is a slight possability he got into some corn at the landowners turkey feeder but it's outside the fence.

Calves will bloat fairly commonly after a storm. Some cows will bed down unitl the weather passes and the calves won't have an opportunity to nurse until it's over. By then, the calf is hungry, the cow has a lot of milk, and the calf will over consume, resulting in an overgrowth of GI bacteria. It's also more common in May and June when cows are on grass and have access to better nutrition so they milk more. These factors will also contribute to an increase in clostridial GI disease in calves.

You must have very polite calves. Mine take a feed from their lying-down mothers any time they're hungry! They know where it is, whatever height it's at.
