[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 1200542, member: 852"] I'd think blackleg, anthrax, pneumonia, gunshot/trauma in no particular order. The bleeding from the ear is not typical and makes me think anthrax or gunshot/trauma. Was there blood from the rectum too? Calf stiff (rigor mortis?) or floppy? If bleeding from multiple orifices +/- rigormortis, anthrax would be at the top of my differential list. Otherwise I'd probably learn towards pneumonia or gunshot. Don't necropsy anything that might be anthrax. Read this: [url=http://www.cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=92835]viewtopic.php?f=7&t=92835[/url] Two days even in this weather might be a bit much to get any useful information from a necropsy. But if you lose another and it doesn't fit the description of anthrax, certainly cut it open and post pictures. [/QUOTE]
