[QUOTE="cherokeeruby, post: 21689, member: 199"] Hope you have found out what is the problem with your calves. Have seen a lot of guesses here that it is E.Coli, sounds like it to me too. We had a run of a very virulent strain years ago. We did manage to keep them alive, only lost one. Still have the original 'house cow' in the herd. Calves would be born, get up be active for 6-12 hours and then just crash. Was a very wet year and at that time we were calving them in the barn. Very bad idea. Vet told us to give all the newborns E.Coli antiserum as soon as possible after birth. He also said to buy the bottle marked for Swine, mentioned that all E.Coli antiserum bottles came out fo the same vat. They were just priced according to the animal on the label. Don't ask what Equine anti-serum cost. Please post your progess with the University. Best of Luck! [/QUOTE]
