Well just fishing for some advice here, asked the vet a couple differant times and he cant tell me either. I got two calves of concern - the first one has been sick for a couple monthes already. He breathes hard and sounds really raspy all the time. The vet told me he though he had some swelling in his throat and that if I gave him Prediff 2X it would take care of it. It hasnt helped and my calf is starting to get sicker and lose weight. He eats good and was acting very healthy/normal until here recently, hes been acting more and more under the weather. Any advice would be great.
The second one just got sick over night, I went out this morning and he looked like he was dead, very bloated looking. I went up to him to double check and he was still alive, but has huge gas-like bubbles protruding from his hind legs, hips, and stomach areas. Ive never seen a calf this bad before. I was talking with a friend and he questions black-leg. Dont know much about black-leg but has the symptoms he was talking about. Not sure what to do right about now, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
