[QUOTE="just learnin, post: 324096, member: 2823"] We have a 3 week old dairy calf on the bottle. Last week we took it to the vet, because it stopped eating, had a cough, and appeared lifeless. He gave it Baytril, Bovi Sera, and Banamine. By that afternoon it was feeling better. We gave it electolytes for two feedings then put it back on milk and water. The last two days it has been acting strange. Doesn't take the bottle immediately and waon't take the water at all. We keep feed and water out. It is in a barn with hay. We had two calfs in there, the other one appears fine. We removed it today. This morning it has yellow white paste looking diarreah all over its rear and tail. It would not eat anything and appears depressed and lifeless. It is standing and walking, but very slow. I keep calling the calf "it", because when we bought it the guy said it was a bull, but the vet said it is a heifer. He said it is most likely a free martin. Please any help would be appreciated. Waiting on a call from vet clinic. [/QUOTE]
