[QUOTE="sunnyblueskies, post: 1760369, member: 39112"] I think it's less 'being attached to THIS one calf' but rather 'fighting for A life'. We all get so engaged fighting nature when an animal get's sick, it becomes personal. It's so tough and frustrating when they don't respond to treatment and it hurts when ones efforts are not repaid with success and life. It just plain sucks. One little mention, maybe you knew that already, but anyway....... navel and joint ill can turn into meningitis. Maybe that's where your calf was heading or already there. Not sure if you ever took it's temperature, you didn't mention. By the way, thanks for sharing your (and everyone else) story. Not sure if it makes sense, but reading about other farmers problems with cattle is somewhat consoling for me. No it does not make me happy!! It reminds me that I'm not the only one who experiences tough times, frustration or better say 'crap going on' with the animals. [/QUOTE]
