Once you start pulling you and you have the chest extended you need to get the calf out asap as they cannot breathe in that position. I doubt it drowned, more than likely is suffocated IF it was sill alive to begin with at the time of pulling.

Fingers crossed that he is on the mend Vic!

All that will do is prevent naval ill or septicemia, septicemia meningitis NOT scours.

Chris she ate grain without sufficient available roughage for her. Went out at 6 am and my cow was stuffing her face with hay. She is alert and the bloat almost completely unnoticeable. My little calf was standing in a calf shelter , ears alert and when I went to see him he was back to his...

I sure hope so 3way, thank you!!! I feel horrible right now, after all that has happened this past year with my girls and now their babies it feels like my black cloud has moved over on top of them too. Ever have that feeling that no matter how hard you try or what you do you just can't seem...

He was standing and his breathing is still very noticeable and a little forced but not as bad as earlier today. I went and brought his dam, Little Miss Sunshine, over to him and he went to eat right away. I think/hope he may be OK. I have not seen pneumonia this badly since we were at the dairy...

Thanks Hook but I have already given him an anti inflammatory for the congestion in his lungs. If I give a NSAID/pain killer it is usually Metacam now, really like how that works quickly in cattle. So glad that it was finally approved. I usually only use Banamine anymore on bred cows that I have...

It has been 7 hours and he has not really improved at all and now he is grinding his teeth, obvious pain. he is not flat on his side anymore but does have his neck and head extended still and labored breathing. Thinking of giving Nuflor is he does not show more improvement by later this...

I have a 1&1/2 month old calf with all of the symptoms of pneumonia (perfect weather for it as it was +16 last week and now a foot of snow and -10 wet mucky wet cold) his dam was in heat a couple of days ago when the weather changed so I am sure he missed a meal and then the crappy weather, all...

Fantastic news!!!!!! :D

They did too that is why kjonesel was able to buy her. ;-) :lol:

If you are a dairy farmer there is absolutely no excuse why your calves do not receive adequate colostrum when born.

Would love to see a pic?

I have found that Anafen is more for a pain reliever to get them on their "feet " again and get the fighting to get better . I have never used it longer than a week because it is suppose to be hard on the stomach and liver (don't quote me) .. In the case prevented by the original poster I too...

Meloxicam is very popular now for pain management in large animals . Best thing you can do is give your LA vet a call Inyati13 . I have the same problem with Lisa , she is 14 yrs old now. She was fine until she had 180lbs worth of heifers in her calving season 2011. I am still debating about...

Have you tried a normal bull ration at about 12% protein . It sounds like he just cannot handle the higher protein , they do not necessarily need a high protein ration to gain . They just need an adequate amount of energy and protein, plus the proper roughage . What kind of hay are you feeding...

Sounds like untreated pink eye to me . At the very least you should patch the eye ,it would be better if you could get the 3rd lid sewn shut for it to heal .

You can give her banamine too . She probably has a touch of arthritis and being heavy bred all that extra weight is adding to her discomfort .

Taurus is correct ,it is sometimes genetic . That is why you shouldn't use a bull with one testicle even if he passes a BSE test and is capable of breeding .

Have you tested for BVD ?
