[QUOTE="DebVaughan, post: 553575, member: 8436"] Today my vet looked down his throat and could see a mass..grey necrotic...about 3"x2" and managed to get it out...said it was part of the very back of his tongue. There was some bleeding, but not as much compared to the size of the thing, so I guess it wasn't attached by much. This explains why he was having no luck with sucking, but how it sustained damage back there is a mystery. Vet said the eye damage and tongue damage could have been fireants or the tongue damage could have been at birth. He fed him with the tube and gave antibiotic via injection and some additional down his throat...and ointment for the eye. The calf was exhausted by the time we got back and has been resting ever since. I just went out to check on him...it's 12:26 am ...and we now have scours. Thank you for your continued help. [/QUOTE]
