[QUOTE="Alice, post: 368749, member: 3873"] Got this from Hoard's Dairyman... [i]White muscle disease also known as [b]stiff calf disease [/b]and muscular dystrophy; the causes may be complex. Predisposing conditions are a [b]selenium deficiency [/b]in [b]two to seven week old calves [/b]lacking exercise, [b]being somewhat undernourished [/b]and suffering stress from other diseases.[/i] I am in no way saying that this is the problem...but it's something to look into. And, for certain, if you can get a vet to do it, have the calf checked out by one. However, knowledge is power and it doesn't hurt to let a vet know that you've been doing some homework.
