I believe our 3 bottle calves (4 & 5 weeks old) are past the ear sucking stage, and we took steps to stop it with vinegar spray, but the sucking has apparently caused damage to the heifer's ears (she didn't object to the sucking and just let them do it at first). The outer edges of her ears are hard and lumpy. :bang: It am hoping it is not frostbite -- they have a snug polydome and are in a roofed pen that butts up to the barn -- but I wonder if she has burst capillaries. Anyone else deal with this and know if it might heal?
Thanks everyone!
