[QUOTE="thendrix, post: 864033, member: 17297"] Did some more checking yesterday. He seemed to be having trouble seeing yesterday afternoon but I believe he could tell the diffrence in light and dark as he would not go from the sunlight into the barn I'm guessing because it was dark. Finally got him in the barn and after 20 - 30 minutes, I shinned a flash light in his eyes and his pupil seemed to react. I then spoke with the vet and she said it sounded to her like he had been kicked in the head. She recommended putting the cow and calf in the barn for the night and giving him penicillin and see how he reacts. This morning he seems some better but still seems to be having trouble seeing. He did take about a quart of formula from a bucket this morning so that is promising. All I know to do at this point is keep him in the barn for a few more days and see what happens. Any more suggestions? [/QUOTE]
