[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1123194, member: 12607"] WRONG again, Sir Loin. PEM would be so unlikely as to be totally unheard of in a newborn calf. It doesn't happen. BVD virus infection at specific stage of pregnancy can cause cerebellar hypoplasia - with clinical signs very much as Sunny C. has described - and would be the most likely diagnosis that any veterinarian would give. The most common things happen most often. [url=https://www.extension.purdue.edu/extmedia/fnr/fnr-105.html]https://www.extension.purdue.edu/extmed ... r-105.html[/url] Like milkmaid, I've also seen aged cats with cerebellar hypoplasia that get along reasonably well - provided they're housed in a safe, consistent environment. They are funny to watch, too! But, are certainly subject to dangerous 'accidents' that an animal with a properly functioning cerebellum would not get into. There is a heritable genetic condition resulting in cerebellar hypoplasia/dysfunction in cattle, but it's rare; I've never seen it in person. But have seen a couple of cases of branched-chain ketoacid decarboxylase deficiency in polled Hereford calves, a different heritable neurologic condition, commonly known as 'maple syrup urine disease' - which also occurs in humans.
