[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1328680, member: 22072"] We had one last year. Just happened to see her fall down out our living room window while drinking our morning coffee as the sun was coming up. Went out and saw that she was in distress. Scooped her up and headed to the vet. She was not looking good when we got there and thought she was dead. Our vet examined her and went into action with antibiotics everywhere...Sent us home with more to give her and amazingly she survived. He explained that even though we vaccinated, this calf was the youngest of the group and just was too young to except the vaccination......this was last year and i may not get the whole thing exactly right, but its close. We were not the norm in getting a calf to survive....but she did and went on to make it to selling time. We just got lucky and saw her very very early...She did eventually poop lots of blood, may have had bloody poop when we took her to the vet that morning, but i dont remember. She was in horrid pain, bless her heart....I think she was back out in the pasture after a few days... [/QUOTE]
