[QUOTE="mystery74, post: 373048, member: 4625"] To the last comment , I have kept the vet well informed along with numerous vets just stopping by , We had the vet out yesterday to dehorn the rest of the calves and the vet said, after examining him, he was overcoming this, the sore on his front leg was a "bedsore" from laying down so much, he gets up and walks around, eating fine , alert, drinking water, i asked the vet for his honest opinion and he said why on earth would i put a calf down that is just now getting over this, this infection was not a naval infection gone overlooked, it was a rare secondary infection from the 2 strains of E. coli, Sometimes i feel some people are to eager to jump the gun and put down an animal. I have stayed in close contact at all times with the vet. I am also not spending anymore money on this calf. Whatever we have in the cabinet he can have, right now he is on no medicine and is in no pain. He is not in any pain and this is not cruel, what would have been cruel would have been to put him down before he was ready,all he needed was a little extra time and alot of supportive care. I understand everyone has a price limit but he is a fighter and he pulled through it. [/QUOTE]
