Looking for advice: Purchased Angus Heifer with her new heifer calf Saturday, May6 2017. Calf was born the day before. 3 hour ride home. Calf was healthy and sucking fine, but making a raspy/rattled noise when sucking. Treated her with a few antibiotic doses. The raspy/rattled noise when sucking will not go away. Yesterday I noticed milk coming out of her nose after sucking. Checked her for a cleft palate - don't see anything wrong. She's starting to get lethargic now.
Anyone know what would cause a calf to aspirate milk from mother? Should I pull her off and see if I can get her to take a bucket?
