[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 955102, member: 391"] My second thought is quick pneumonia(its got a fancy name but I can't remember it). When its around you have to catch it within 6 hrs and treat it or there is too much lung damage. . One thing it has to identify it, is REALLY high temperatures(107-108).If you catch it fast enough they turn around miraculously- if not, they are dead. When its around I have to check cattle 4 times a day and pull anything that looks even a little off- and even then I will miss a few overnight. I usually know its around after I find one dead that I never saw any signs of it getting poor. If I pull a calf and it has a really high temperature , I will ramp up checking and pulling calves for a few days just in case. Seems like when I am seeing it so is everybody else I know putting in calves. One good thing is it seems to run its course pretty fast and after a week its gone. And its only reared its ugly head 4 times in the last 30 years. But I remember those times VIVIDLY. I hope whatever it is, it doesn't spread this way. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
