[QUOTE="Luca Brasi, post: 1227816, member: 23282"] Way too many changes for a calf that is already under stress from a move and the change from milk to replacer. Stop changing grain, replacer and even electrolytes. Why would you be afraid to use medicated replacer, yet add corid?? That is not to suggest that you should change replacers again. You don't say how much milk/replacer she is getting total. That could be an issue as well. Allow her to eat hay, especially if she is eating the bedding. It may or may not be part of your problem, but use clean bedding that has not been contaminated with other animal waste. That's just a basic concept of good husbandry. Her temperature may or may not be normal, but point of fact; you cannot tell for sure without measuring it, no matter what you think, wish or assume. The best medical care comes from relying on facts, not guesses. It is never OK to allow a calf to come in contact with you with it's head. It is not a puppy or a kitty, and it won't be small and "cute" forever. It will lead to some dangerous situations as it grows, especially with a Jersey of all things. [/QUOTE]
