Dead Calf

[Anonymous]

I had a 2 month old Holstein calf die this morning. He looked like he had bloated and he had a thick white foam running out of his nose and mouth. It almost looked like dish soap suds. I put some leaves in his pen the night before just for bedding and to help clean up the mud. He and 3 other calves were eating some of the leaves, could that make him bloat? Does anyone have any Idea what could have made him bloat? I have not changed their feed one bit. Could he have over eating disease? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A>

There are a number of plants that have leaves that are toxic to livestock, oleander, black cherry, and others. There web "http://www.murraygrey.com/" has information on toxic plants
