[QUOTE="Alice, post: 265848, member: 3873"] A good vet can tell you if the calf has lung damage. We went thru that with a heifer that was about 5 months old at the time. Took her 3 times to the vet clinic. First vet treated her and said she didn't have lung damage. The second vet treated her and said she didn't have lung damange. The third vet said she had lung damage and didn't treat her. My husband brought her home, gave her a draxxin, vitamins out the wazoo, nuflor and banamine (decided it would either cure her or kill her), and we moved her into the large pasture. She's doing great, even in this ungodly heat! The reason we moved her is because the pen she was in had turned to dust (thanks Msscamp for cluing me in on that one). It was a huge pen, but it had been tromped and grazed down to nothing but dry dusty dirt. The other calves were doing fine, but she wasn't. She'd been vaccinated just like the others, but when she got sick, she went down fast. All of those calves in with her went along to the big pasture. That dusty dirt can wreak havoc on a calves lungs. Alice [/QUOTE]
