[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 1254052, member: 4674"] We have a calf that is about 2 weeks old. There was two sores show up on the right hip . Time we discovered her the sores were already rotten and with a rotten smell. I suspect with the wet weather and the nasty water we picked up some type bacteria. Been to the vet for antibiotic treatment. The vet kept the cow and calf for three days I brought them home today the calf walks and nurses but the sores are still rotten and smelling like something dead . Vet said we would just have to let it rot until well but I think in the back of his mind he knows that there is not much to do, Looks like another sore may be developing on the left hip. I have read about and heard about people getting infected with a flesh eating bacteria could this be what has happened with this calf . I hope the vet sent tissue to be examined to see what is going on. Will ask next week. [/QUOTE]
