[QUOTE="johnsdeere, post: 606738, member: 9098"] Question is wait and see, Call vet, or treat with something? What could this be? Yesterday noticed----We have 5 calfs that are together and have been for about 2 months now, cleaned out the barn where they cam come in out of the weather, but eat out side this weekend and found a few piles of loose manure with blood stains in it, so we paniced, watched all five close and 3 had runny manure and messy rear ends, other 2 were fine. One has a slight cough on ocassion. They are on hay and 10 lbs of feed each split into 2 feedings, but were uped 1 scoop for the 5 a day or 2 eariler. Lighest one is 530 lbs. All still have a excellent appitite and all act normal and drink well. No bloody manure at all today from all five. Today---- backed some feed off and put some crumbles in it and kept hay the same, noticed a few more with a slight cough about once an hour today. No noses running or eyes running. Manure is still loose, but not watery like yesterday. No bloody manure at all. 3 with a slight cough once an hour, 1 with a rougher cough 2 times an hour. It seems that the 3 that show the wost signs, all came from the same place and had the same vacinations in Oct and had the best health program. So am I just over worried, should we be treating the cough with something now (other than crumbles in the feed). I really dont think the amount of feed is the cause of the loose manure. 3 were treated 6-10 vision 7 9-26 cattlemaster gold 5fpl5 9-26 vision 7 10-19 cattlemaster gold 5fpl5 10-19 pasterrella pam-1 10-19 poured with ivomec [/QUOTE]
