Hello,
I have a 3 week old black wf calf born to a angus heifer. At first it looked normal when born other then I thought its face was very pink. Within a few days it started to rub and scratch its face on everything and now has rubbed most of the hair off its forehead and her skin on her head is very pink. It also seems that the skin on the rest of her body is chafing badly under the hair. I took pictures to the vet and he didn't really know what it could be. The calf seems normal and healthy other then this. We gave her a shot of A,D & E and some Duramycin antibiotic on Saturday. Haven't notice much improvment.
If someone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. I can email a picture but I couldn't upload here.
Thanks, Tim
