[QUOTE="jonbri55, post: 540243, member: 8312"] These calves presented with what looked like pneumonia-scours, runny nose and after a course of penicillin they weren't much better. When I did some research, it turns out that sometimes selenium deficiency can initially look like an upper respiratory problem. I will ALWAYS make sure I have plenty of Bo-Se on hand. With goats it just shows as weak hocks or pasterns-calves are a little different. The other calf is doing well. He is eating well and running around. I am giving him a vitamin E supplement once a day and will continue for about a week or 2. Does this sound like enough? Should he get another Bo-Se in 2 weeks? What else do you all do for these Holstein bottle calves to help them gain well? Thanks for any input. [/QUOTE]
