Have been seeing this and hearing of this in our area quite a bit. Weaned calves and yearlings going down hill. Pretty much wasting away. Calves have diarrhea, never go off feed or water, but just lose weight fast. Seeing a little bit of bottle jaw in a couple. We have a couple calves that we're having this issue with. Have samples out going to Cornell at around $200 per calf. Sure hope we find out what the issues are. All have been vaccinated, dewormed, etc. Antibiotics don't seem to touch anything. Have been treating with Kaolin Pectin, Keto Tubes, and Pro Bios, which has helped some. Just heard today of another producer with calves with the same issues. Just trying to figure out what we may be dealing with. Hopefully the test results will give us something to go on. The vets don't seem to have any ideas at the moment.
