[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 627746, member: 2653"] Not to worry, I don't think your being a wise acre at all. Several years ago we had a calf at my dad's place that looked almost exactly the same as this calf. Vet thought that the calf got pinkeye from laying in wet pasture, possibly even laying on/close to manure. I'm not 100% positive it's pinkeye, that's just my first guess. I didn't see the calf when it was first born. The moma is a very good moma, so she's taken care of it. But those blue eyes popped out at me as soon as I saw them this evening. A lot of watery discharge coming from the eyes, and although the calf doesn't appear blind, it's vision can't be really good (maybe blurred vision), because it let me walk up within a few feet and didn't seem startled. Maybe the vet will tell me something else, we'll see. [/QUOTE]
