[QUOTE="Parker, post: 1397749, member: 27210"] Hey guys I'm new to the site, I'm a small cow calf operation that raises a few orphaned beef calves every year on the bottle. A farmer just dropped off a week old bull calf (brangus). He said the calf had to be pulled and had went down hill since birth and felt as if the moma wasn't caring for it. I think it has joint ill, I've never battled the illness before but I hear it's tuff and I have a few questions. First is it contagious. Second would injectable penicillin be suitable to treat. The calf is taking a bottle great but it's joints are swollen and is very tender to walk. I'm giving it a good milk replacer and electroylits. I don't mind the cost of antibiotics if it's curable but I don't want to prolong death of its inevitable either. Thanks open to any advice [/QUOTE]
