[QUOTE="raykour, post: 1168630, member: 16801"] Oh ketosis smell. Once you smell that you won't forget it. I have had dairy animals for some time and every once in awhile one gets ketosis. The milk also takes on the smell and it will burn your eyes. I doubt this calf has diptheria....he is bright and alert and since he is thin....this has clearly been going on for awhile. He has a good appetite as well. As a precaution I will keep him in a pen by himself through the weekend, then I will put him out and see what he looks like later. No skin off my back, I have PLENTY of grass. I have a cow that is a "lunger", you can hear her breathing from quite a ways away. I have also picked up some that were "breathers" at the sale yard before and just put them out on pasture and had a relatively decent animal to butcher in the end. I will file that in my memory about the fetid discharge or breath being a symptom of diptheria. [/QUOTE]
