[QUOTE="mystery74, post: 627162, member: 4625"] I am poking at everyones experience with this one-- Had a healthy calf at 3 weeks old one day started to get up on his knuckles then fall over, he did get up to drink and then the next day couldnt get up to drink. called vet out after physical exam lungs were fine, temp fine, guts moving like they should. she said they only thing she could think of would be a vitamin e/selenium deficiency and she had hoped we caught it in time since he could not get up. he ended up dying the next day. Now, another calf which came from the same farm (not born on ours) just showed signs this morning of slow getting up, and got up on his knuckles, after a few minutes did complete his standing and ate fine. no temp. I went ahead and gave him a shot of vitamin e/selenium but I am wondering if maybe i should be looking at another cause. ANY IDEAS????? [/QUOTE]
