[QUOTE="Keren, post: 503332, member: 3195"] I would image this calf just has a very bad case of ringworm. It does happen, some are more affected than others, like with humans some people get colds all the time others dont. I have seen cattle with their entire heads bald and covered in ringworm. BUT, I would be more confident in this diagnosis if you could post a picture. You probably know this, but here's a list of ringworm treatment options: (in no particular order) 1. Leave it alone it will clear up on its own 2. Colgate toothpaste (yes, it does work! actually any toothpaste) put it on thick it will smother it 3. Oil (such as Flint's oil, but any will do) put on thick (again, smothering) 4. Stockholme tar (again, smothering, are you getting the idea that you have to smother the fungus??? :lol: ) 5. Iodine, will act as a fungicide to kill it 6. Anti-fungal medicines for humans (have used athlete's foot and vaginal cream, both work well) 7. Medicated shampoos (I have found are the least effective) [/QUOTE]
