About 2 months ago I bought three holstien calves. They were about 200-250 lbs. I took them immediately to the vet and had them shot with micotil/micogent and vaccinated for black leg. I also poured them with Ivomec. Also had them castorated.
Two weeks ago I found one of them dead. Thought it might be from lightening, judging from where I found him. However, last Wednesday I observed another one walking somewhat slowly. Yesterday I found him in the barn, not able to get up. This afternoon, Sunday, I gave him a package of One-Day Response and three Terraycin tablets. Tonight I gave him some sweet feed and fresh water.
If he lives through the night, and he probably will, should I try to hoist him up on his feet? If so, how long do I leave him up and how much weight do I allow him to put on his feet?
Thanking you in advance for any help and further suggestions and advice.
