[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 560060, member: 852"] BVD is one of the viruses we vaccinate for; if a pregnant cow is exposed to the virus during a certain point of gestation (1st trimester) the unborn calf will often accept the virus as "self" since its immune system isn't working and capable of fighting off infection. If the calf survives to birth we call them "persistantly infected (PI) calves". PI animals will always shed the BVD virus throughout their life and can never be cured since their immune system doesn't see the BVD virus as a problem. She might just be a dwarf. Hard to say. You could always have her tested for BVD-PI if you're concerned. [/QUOTE]
