[QUOTE="slyfarmgirl, post: 828517, member: 14107"] I have a calf with a similar case - cow had healthy calf, calf was sucking, getting around just fine seemed like a nice big healthy calf. Day three calf down and out - put cow in chute to see what was up no milk!!! Teats were apparently sealed over - so calf did not get colostrum. Started to bottle feed and gave electrolytes. Gave Nuflor due to rattled breathing. Calf was doing great for a few days then down again. Treated again and calf was doing better. Few days later down again. Noticed swelling in front knees - no swelling at navel. Now we are going to start to treat with LA 200. Poor little thing is on my intesive care list. It sucks when you think all is well but it makes you feel better when you are not alone in making mistakes! [/QUOTE]
