I have a 6 week old jersey bottle calf that is not feeling well.
Yesterday he was perky, jumping and playing. This morning He wasn't interested in his feed, ears were droopy, you could tell he wasn't feeling right.
Shot him up with nuflor and banamine (spelling) and he seemed to perk up this afternoon. Tonight I go out to give him his bottle and he's down again. This time I have to help him up, and he's still not eating.
I noticed this time that he has what looks to be a hernea or swelling around his penis area. Didn't notice it this morning.
Any ideas what the swelling could be? He's in a pen by himself, so it's not another calf sucking on him. Just wanna help the little guy out if I can.
