Ok, heres an odd one for ya.
Have a 8 week old holstien hiefer calf, about to try and wean this week or next. ( she should be worth some bucks about now)
Odd though, her nose constantlyruns, profusely, but only from one nostril, the other side is dry as can be. It runs as clear, to whitish mucus.
Ok, she has no temp, no repiratory issues, and it has never run green or even yellow, ( a sign of infection) she does ok, seems to be a little bit behind the eightball so to speak as far as growth, but not poorly.
Just to be on the safe side of it all, I put her through two regiments of NuFlor treatment, and also keep the medicated calf starter with her, as well as adding aeromycin crumbles.
Now, I have pretty much rulled out all of the above, would my guess be correct that she likely has something in that nostril causing this condition? Have seen it in a adult cow before, but never a calf so young.
Have looked up in there, cannot see anything suspicous.
Anyone wanna take a shot at it? :cboy:
