We have a Scottish Highland steer calf that is now 6 months old. We got him when he was about 1 month old and raised him on a bottle. Ever since we got him he has had this skin issue. The vet said he thought it was ringworm and to shave the calf and bathe him in Malaseb shampoo. I shaved him in mid-August and started bathing him twice weekly. This helped some but it never went away. The vet said it could take a very long time for it to go away. His lesions are round on his skin when you pull the little "tag" off. The "tag" is sort of finger-like and very hard. Now that it has gotten cold and his hair has grown back it is ALL OVER him again. Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on what it could be or a treatment?
This pic is from when I first shaved him. I can take updated and/or better pics tomorrow if it would help.
Thanks!
