[QUOTE="TCTara, post: 667509, member: 10013"] To be honest, I've never seen it in calves, but it is not rare in adult cattle--ie fatty liver cows, too fat when they come into milk, develop fattly liver and liver failure. It can also be caused by introducing liver fluke naive cattle to an endemic area--massive liver damage. Jaundice is from excess bilirubin in the blood, staining things yellow. Intravascular hemolysis can also cause it--from damaged RBC leading to bilirubinemia. In a calf I'd be suspicious of a shunt, blocked bile duct or other malformation. Any congentital problem could be genetic/hereditary or could be from a toxin mom ate, or just because Murphy had to strike with his law....Unless it is something which is so distinct that it is only seen under that condition, I doubt you will ever know.
