[QUOTE="rtarmstrong, post: 49652, member: 735"] I am new to this Board, but I am in desperate need of some help. I have a 4 to 5 month old calf that up to about 1 week was out in the field running and acting like a normal calf with the other calfs, but last Friday I noticed that it was staggering a little with its back legs, then Sunday when I went to feed, this calf could'nt get up. It makes all the motions that they do when they try to get up but it can't lift itself off the ground. Had the vet out he said she was selenium deficient, he gave her a shot of Thiamine, Micotol and ADESE (?) when he was here and left me another shot to administer to her on wednesday. Well now it is thursday and she is still down. She eats well, we are feeding her where she is at and bottle feeding her milk and providing her plenty of water to keep her from dehydrating. Only other problem that I had noticed in her recently was that the skin around her eyes was very pink, but not the eye itself just around the eye. She has also been given a shot of Banimine and Dex with no results. She has tons of energy, just can't get up. Any suggestions would be helpful [/QUOTE]
