I had a funeral to go to out of town,and I was out of feed, did'nt have time to get it before I left. As, where I get it is 30 miles away. So, I went to the local COOP and got 2 50# bags of feed to give 3 calves I'm weaning. The feed was fairly comparable to what normally feed which is Cargill 16% this other was Purina 14%. Anyway I fed them night before I had to leave the next night they were bucking around acting perfect, then yesterday morning one of them is laying down with the runs. I had touch to make him get up could barely do it, and he very weak in the back end kinda like he's drunk. I took off feed all together good Brome hay only right now. I can't tell for sure but I think the other two are acting kinda mopey also. BTW this calf had touch of Pneumonia coule weeks ago LA-220 and he got over it. Could switching feed have caused this? Is this calf Dehydrated? Could they have just got too much of the this new feed? How should I treat? Thanks B&G
