Sick Calf[bloat ?]

[Turkey Run]

I've got a two and a half month old calf,noticed he did'nt feel good yesterday.Seems to be larger than normal in the lower abdoman, not high near the rumen though.Has a snotty nose,his stool is firm but had a little mucas looking stuff in it.He has'nt sucked the cow today,maybe since yesterday,as her bag is very tight.When he trots I can hear sloshing sounds in his stomach.He went to water like he was thirsty but did'nt drink. Gave him a shot of la200[did'nt figure it'd hurt] was'nt able to take his temp. Hope this is enough info,whats your opinion?

My calf that I a was tubing fought me hard one day and I got some air down her by accident. She sloshed when she would move and looked like she was feeling badly. I thought I had killed her but the next day she was fine. Your calf may just need to "release the air, out one end or the other" That sure fixed mine :lol:
