Got a calf that's been acting off for over 10days now. Hasn't eating much at all in a week. Figured he was just off feed and he'd come around. Guy I buy feed off of mixed his own, changed from cracked corn to whole. This is a 1100lb butcher calf I've got a fortune in feed in.
Gave him 50cc of LA300 in case he had fever. Sunday nite I finally got a vet out to look at him. He gave laxatives, anti bloat stuff, and dose of Micotil. He's but stumped at to the issue as well. Personally I thinking he picked up netwrap or plastic bag blew in pen etc.
Today vet gave a more laxatives, probiotics, and a magnet to give him. To look at him he's healthy as can be. Just walks slow and poop is dark almost black and smells rotten, what very very little there is of it. Pics are all I have currently.
I'm thinking he's screwed
