[QUOTE="Bama, post: 505626, member: 1184"] I have a calf that has symptons that a lot of folks will be seeing in the near future. Those of you that know right off what the problem is hold off a couple of days and let folks think about it. I'm doing this mostly for folks that haven't been in the business long. ( Hint ) It's something you will see sooner or later. Calf is 350- 400 pound bull, the breed is "black un", purchased in a load 5 weeks ago. I have no idea where it came from. It was not the best looking of the bunch but was ok for the price. It unloaded in a barn for 2 days. Medicated with piliguard, alpha 7, and la200 on day 3. It was in a pen with its arrival mates for the past 5 weeks. It has been grazing ryegrass and fescue since its introduction. It has had free choice bermuda/fescue hay. Eating 3- 3.5 pounds of hay daily for the 5 weeks. It has been fed 2 pounds daily of 13 percent cattle pellets for the 5 weeks. It has had free choice high mag mineral for 5 weeks. No implants and not cut yet. Its the only one showing any signs or symptons of anything wrong. I noticed it walking funny, "light" on back legs. It gets up and after a short spell it will lay down again. It is kinds wobbly. Drunk looking. Its ears are not drooping, no fever, no cloudly eyes - just staggering around on weak legs. It looks fine, then all at once it starts wobbling. Then laying down again. I will give another hint my treatment involves a 100cc dose of something. I'll give my treatment and the outcome of the calf later. BAMA [/QUOTE]
