[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1444732, member: 24027"] The most common "symptom" of Blackleg and other colostridial diseases is a dead animal. They're that fast. Fritos is a good analogy; it's like bubble wrap and pops. We lost a 2 month old calf to Clostridium Perfringens Type D (overeating disease) last year and this year a 2 month old calf looked like she had watery, clear scours, was still with the herd/nursing but we treated her anyway with Sustian III & drenched with electrolytes. Temp was normal but the thermometer came out bloody. Dead by the next morning. There was very little left of her (buzzards) but the vet suspected a colostridial disease. Passive immunity generally protects the calf up to around 3 months but clearly that's not always the case. Blackleg/clostridial diseases in adult cattle are uncommon. That said, I agree with CB. Not sure where the OP is located but the weather has been weird this summer & a lot of ranchers around here have been battling pneumonia. [/QUOTE]
