[QUOTE="Hawk, post: 27452, member: 114"] Well, the easy answer is that it probably won't get better on its own. The other bad news is that if you don't quarantine the sick calf the others will very likely get it too. The blood probably comes from the lining of the calf's intestines that is being attacked by bacteria in his gut. The good news is that the bacteria can usually be controlled by antibiotics. I would try to do exactly as you suggest and observe which calf is passing the bloody discharge. Check his temperature and if it is elevated treat him aggressively with antibiotics while keeping him away from the other calves. I prefer Micotel, which you can get from your vet. [/QUOTE]
