[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 378362, member: 5106"] Lisa, menigitis I am still not sure why they get it even when it was explained ,the one that I lost to it didn't fit the criteria at all.However septicemia I have been told that the calf can get it as soon as it is out of the cow the bacteria is "ingested" through the mouth or the naval especially if the calf has a weekened immune system .Maybe that has been the problem with your older cow the last two years; it's calfs are not strong enough at birth.Also do you vaccinate your cows? I know this doesn't help you treat the calf or give you real answers but both are horrible things to have and I have yet to save one that I know of that has had this condition.But you have to try because it may not be either one.If you really want to know call your vet out.However they will probably diagnose over the phone and tell you septicemia /meningits. By the way we do vaccinate and do the scour guard before they calve and still have had it. [/QUOTE]
