[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1407493, member: 20599"] Thanks all. Tried to get some electrolytes in her early this am but think she aspirated some. :( We have been doctoring her all day and got the vet out, who gave her Baytril and Banamine (and we will continue those). Got her in barn with mama but she's not eating much and has had diarrhea. We left for an hour and came back and there was some (red, slightly mucus-y) blood on the barn floor so we are concerned calf has one of the GI bugs that leads to GI bleeding (I know several can). Other poss is that the blood is from mama still cleaning but don't think that's likely as she birthed Thursday afternoon, and it doesn't have other tissue in it? At this point I expect we will lose the calf and are just hoping it doesn't spread, esp to the calf that is a week older. I knew this day was coming--we have been so lucky with calves so far. We have had about 30 born here since we started (about 5 years ago) and this is the first calf we've even had sick. They have been hardy and we have been lucky. Assuming calf doesn't pull through I guess we will sell mama. Not her fault, I just can't see carrying her for a year. Very bummed. (I know ya'll have been there!). I just keep thinking that our being so lucky (so far) has conversely meant we don't have a lot of experience with sick calves [/QUOTE]
