[QUOTE="Farminlund, post: 295933, member: 1132"] Hi-mag loose minerals, fertilized pasture (was lush) - hair loss per the vet is a secondary symptom, not the issue itself. I checked all calves in the herd the morning I tried catching the original hair loss calf & none showed any sign of hair loss other than some burnt areas on their backends. I probably should talk to the vet about the dead one, but hate to pester him as he so busy & I can't do anything at this point anyway (except keep a closer watch). It's the quickness of the death & the hypothermia that have me a bit mystified. My assumption is still that the swelling & the hole in the center of that swelled area points to a navel infection. I guess the small white pieces were fly eggs. [/QUOTE]
