[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 8159"] I'm sorry you lost your calf. There are many different diseases that can cause illness. Unless you had a vet diagnose her or do a necropsy, you'll never know what caused her death. <p>One of our calves recently became ill with diptheria. She looked fine, was running around and eating well, but her breathing sounded terrible. I took her into the vet. He was out on a call and while I was waiting several different farmers came over and gave me their unsolicited opinions. All were the same: "Give her a shot of LA200 and she'll be fine. You didn't need to bring her in to the vet." Well, the diagnosis was diptheria, and LA200 doesn't do a thing for diptheria. It is only sensitive to Sulfa.
