[QUOTE="Ron Bible, post: 119060, member: 2327"] From what you are discribing, your calf has a bad case of parasites. (wormy) The little hacking cough is a symptom of that. If the calf was takinig pheumonia, he would not eat or suck at all, have a foamy mouth, red nose .........and, he would probably be dead by now. Give him recommended dose of ivermectin, along with a worm bolus. The next day, he probably wont look a whole lot better because a bad infestation of parasites, when they are killed by the proper medecine, will continue to make the calf feel bad for a day or so.....The second or third day, he should feel much better and start eating with a big appetite. please let me know the status of this little fella. RonB * parasites can weaken their resistence to pneumonia. [/QUOTE]
