[QUOTE="Michelle Pankonien, post: 251020, member: 147"] Hello, Have seen calves with heart murmurs, they die young, not cost effective to diagnose or treat, via Cardio Echo or meds to improve heart function, both require a specialist of veterinary cardiology, we have treated pet goats for cardio myopathy but they were "Pets", with cattle, which are primarily for reproduction, why would you use an animal like that for breeding, just cut your loss and move on with a distended abdomen, I would say it is more likely to be a digestive system that did not develop properly, unless the vet tapped the abdomen or the chest cavity and identified the fluid as chyle or accities, they have no idea what the cause is, and with LA 200 there is a withdrawl period, so now you can't even salvage the calf for veal for home consumption for a while [/QUOTE]
