[QUOTE="newbie, post: 539667, member: 6231"] I have a calf that is three weeks old that went through navel ill and a weeks worth of Nuflor and was doing pretty good. She is a Black Angus that is quite large, pulled her mothers insides out when she was born in a feedlot. She is a little wobbly on her feet and probably got stepped on in the pen as her left hock and knee have always been large. Now the one left front leg has swollen right up to her elbow and she can hardly walk or get up. Molly is still eating. She went from being fine yesterday to dead lame today. I also discovered a little cut on her knee. Gave her a double shot of penicillin and one aspirin. Tried to get some Neox (tetracycline) down her in a bottle but she did not like it. She was already full. She also seems to have the shivers and stands a little humped up. I saw her pee and have a normal crap. We just lost a yonger calf to perhaps scours or something else after a lot of money and effort. Does anyone think that the bacteria in the scours got into Mollys cut knee and that is why it is all swollen. She can hardly stand on it and she was walking ok yesterday. [/QUOTE]
