Our calves were recently weaned so are rising 1 year, and they were looking pretty good, it is winter and the feed is coarse and dry. We supplement hay and have just started with a grainmix pellet to help them grow. There are about 60 calves and of those about 10 look really poor. They have very wet rears and are wobbly in the legs. One went down and it has been in the stable for 3 weeks it is a bit stronger but still looks pretty awful. We have tested for just about everything including pestivirus. Three of the worst ones have a swelling under their jaw that is spongy but quite firm. The vet has been out and so far no luck. They aren't wormy, no liver fluke and they are still eating.We have injected coppernate this week under vets advice (the area was copper deficient in the past) Any ideas?????
