[QUOTE="TR, post: 564508, member: 22"] Well......thought I'd better temp the little guy this morning as MM suggested just to be sure and sure-as-shootin, at 10:00am, his temp was 103.4. Ok, quick call to the Vet (high dollar bull calf-don't want ANY chances taken) and a ride to the Dr, his temp was at 105.6 an hour and a half later......he's a sick puppy........We hit him with Draxxin and Banamine and will re-evaluate him tonight and again in the morning and for the next few days. Gotta say here, other than the panting, this calf was not acting sick. He was not droopy, he was eating and drinking and doing it well, and there was no nasal discharge, poop looked good, eyes not sunken in, still interested in his surroundings and all the stuff you'd see a normal calf doing; except for the open mouth breathing in the heat of the day. His breathing was normal last evening and earlier this morning, but at 10:00am when I saw him, he was starting to breath heavy. It was only around 91 at that time. Certainly not hot enough for heavy breathing. So, out came the thermometer and there you have it....103.4 and an hour and a half later, 105.6. [/QUOTE]
