A friend of mine called and said that he got a calf at a market tonite and he didnt want it cause he didnt realize how sick it was. He said if i didnt want it he was gonna shoot it. Well knowing me I am not gonna let anyone do that. When I first saw him he was standing he had his head down I knew he was sick but didnt realize how sick he was till i got him home in the barn. I have him away from all the cows and the bottle baby im feeding now. There are three things I am worried about.
1. He has a snot nose and a wheeze when he breathes.
2. He has the scours and God it stinks to high heaven. There is some blood it looks like blood.
3. The possiblility of shipping fever. Do I need to worry about my daughter catching it if he does have shipping fever or possibly pnuemonia?
His nose is really hot to touch and he ate about 4 pints almost better than I thought he would. I cant git to a feed store of course it is 1 am as I am typing this. I know I need resorb. I know I need to git something else for him not sure what yet.
I went ahead and gave him 6 ccs of La 200 I hope it helps its all I have and he needs something now for this infection he has. What can I give him to give him a chance to beat this thing. He weighs 70 pounds hes a holstien. Any help before I go to the feed store would be a God send. :help:
