[QUOTE="Awp0302, post: 1742499, member: 38851"] I have a 26 day old bottle calf in the barn and just yesterday when I went back for the evening feeding, I notice two bald patches on her nose and behind both her ears. Not round like ring worm, and not scaly or infected looking. I initially thought the ding bat had gotten her head stuck in the fence panels in the the barn, but then noticed another bald patch on the back of her back leg. She has just completed a dosing round of Dura Pen for a slightly infected umbilical cord, but that has all cleared up. Any ideas? Don't think it could be lice.....no other animals have ever been in that stall. She has had contact with the herd in the pasture when she goes to "visit" through the fence, but none in the pasture have shown any hair loss at all. There is a bird nest above her pen......can calves get bird lice? Why is it always something! :ROFLMAO: [/QUOTE]
