[QUOTE="mystery74, post: 627866, member: 4625"] Went out to barn 9:00 pm last night to do a third feeding for all the calves, the sick one was laying there didnt want to get up to eat or even hold his head up. He will be dead by morning and I have a vet scheduled to come out to open him up and see what the heck is going on. Another calf next stall over 2 weeks old stumbled when he got up to eat. That is the first sign of this illness. hopefully it was just a stubble but I havent been real lucky lately. All these calves are healthy calves starting out. playful, eat well, they walk around and then just one day they stumble while getting up and then progress to getting up on knuckle then feet then not being able to get up at all. They all continue to eat well through this although the day the start to get it they start to lose weight. Most of the calves have held normal temperatures and lung sounds throughout the entire illness. I will post in morning with an update hopefully soon we can figure this out before I lose another calf. I have been raising cattle for almost 8years and before this year I only lost 1 calf and that was because of a bad case of pneumonia. Now this year if that calf is dead in the morning I will have lost 4 due to a unknown disease. [/QUOTE]
