[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 638272, member: 6198"] Are the knee joints warm to the touch? Might not be alot of a difference but check it out. If navel ill has spread, that would be the first place. When you soak the navel, are your hands clean, are you gloved up? Reinfection is a bummer. If you are using the required dosage of banamine, great. If not, suck it up and use a proper dosage [url=http://www.banamine.com/disclosure/index.html]http://www.banamine.com/disclosure/index.html[/url] If after eigth days the navil ill is showing no signs of improvement call your vet cause you will need something like nuflor to get to the matter As for the cut on the leg, the banamine will help with the swelling. With 8 days of LA200 ( i presume) there should be enough in the system to fight the infection. Clean the cut with a weak tea like solution of iodine and water and maybe a topical antibiotic if you have some, again, the weak tea 2x a day. Just cause this calf had colostrum does not necessarily mean passive transfer (PT) took place. Many things are required inorder for the IGg to pass the intestine lining. Failure of PT (FPT) happens. Some reasons for FPT are: -difficult or stressful birth which means the gut is less able to absorb it all -enviromental stresses -poor mothering -poor quality colostrum -and the big one, not timely matter If any or all of these situations were present, good chance that FPT happened. Check out Jeanne Valley's thread on colostrum and Randi's thread as well. Both are informative Did this calf come from the same farm as the others? I am curious cause you are again fighting pnemonia at an early age. Are these cattle, the cows and bulls, vaccinated for BVD and IBR and the rest of the story? If not i would get your cows and calves BVD checked. Are your cows that are about to calve vaccinated? [/QUOTE]
