[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10036"] I haven't posted anything on this calf because without a proper physical exam and likely bloodwork including electrolytes anything I say is total guesswork. Whoever the vet is who hasn't seen this calf and yet prescribes meds is not practicing good medicine. You may have a permanent neurological problem all the way to an easily correctible problem. Antibiotics are fine if you know why you're using them, as are the B vitamins. I'd be doing a full neuro exam, taking blood for a CBC, 'lytes and possible Se level (guessing since I haven't seen the calf) as well as a full physical exam including looking for sepsis (navel infection, joint ill) and possibly more! Keep the calf clean, dry and hydrated. No drafts! Good footing....and a proper physical exam and diagnosis. Is there a vet college nearby you can contact? Good Luck V [/QUOTE]
