[QUOTE="mystery74, post: 363181, member: 4625"] :help: update and still need some major help. The vet did say maybe naval infection but this joint infection was a secondary infection from the E. coli infection he took 6 weeks to get over, still cottage cheese "stuff" coming from back leg, however swelling is down. anitibiotics are done but now he wont stand on the leg, this has also been brought up that this calf might be mentally retarded since we have to hand feed him. he is 6 weeks old and skin and bones, after the discussion with my husband we have made the choice of no more vet calls but what in the world can i do for him, i am not familiar with vitamins and thought maybe that would boost him up enough that he would start gaining weight, he is energetic and has potential, the vitamins i have are vitamin a and D and vitamin b complex? will any of these help him? He is over E.coli and I thought maybe the antibiotics made him not want to eat well. As for the colostrum, we bought this calf from a guy we had never dealt with and he said he had colostrum but i doubt it,he has not had a good start in life but so far he made it through the worse. anyone have any suggestions that i could at least try, and yes i was already told to shoot it, but i didnt have the heart to tell my 12 year old daughter we would have to shoot her calf, she has been out there with me every day , many hours helping doctor this little guy up. :help: [/QUOTE]
