[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9864"] we generally give la200 for shipping fever. some disagree, but i usually give new ones i buy thru the salebarn a shot whether they show signs of sickness or not.. any showing signs of sickness get more.. micotil or nuflor.. something like that.. you probably need to ask someone locally who can examine your calf, but sounds like that calf needs some type of antibiotic (you said it was coughing pretty bad). and a GOOD worming. then put it on some good grass/hay and keep an eye on it.. if you feed it any grain, ease into it. i am by no means an expert.. but this has been my experience.. check with your vet, and good luck gene I purchased a yearling calf that > weighs approx 420lbs and is > somewhat skinny. a couple of days > after I got her home I noticed > that she started to caugh.
