[QUOTE="Latta, post: 477627, member: 7078"] Thanks for all the good advise. Gave the calf the shots Sunday night. Monday nights the shivers stopped, and I noticed his gut was twitching. Today no twitching but still very slow, and droopy. He did go to the waterer. The reasons for shooting him with Baytril (single dose therapy) and Penicillin are one we didn't know what we were dealing with and two our facilities are rough and its difficult to catch them. Once we do we try to do as much as we think is safe. I talked to my feed rep. and he suggested probios. And yes they do need wormed I havent been able to get to that since they came in from pasture. It is on my list of things to get done. soon. The vet is coming out this afternoon. I should probably mention that I am a middle aged female, and have taken over our herd(115 Holstein steers, all bottle raised, by yours truly) responsibilities 2 years ago. That alone creates several limitations as I was not raised on a farm. The vet is coming this afternoon and he WILL take temp first thing, listen to gut and lungs. I'll let you know his treatment.
