Can anyone help me with calf?

And you're not over reacting...He's probably fine, but it's always best to check it out!

Oh.. Sorry..Most important, what kind of milk is he on?

Okay heres the run down and what I've done. He had a bought with scours and we think pneumonia which is what we think got the other one. But he was better and yesterday he was running around fine just like the last week. We did just switch to a better quality milk replacer and he just started really eating hay, grass, and starter feed. I can tell he ate at least a cup or two of feed this morning. Hes still bright eyed and came outside today when we opened the door. I went to my local co op and checked with them because the one raises tons of calves. He said they normally give them black coffe and walk them. I did get a bloat medicine for cows and gave it to him an hour ago and walked him. His poop is a little loose. We gave him electrolytes with bloat meds.

I'm not home right now but I'll check milk replacer when I get back. I got the most expensive highest quality one I could find. No soy.

It could just be some tummy upset. I always gave mine about 10cc of danon plain yogurt twice a day in their bottles. It helps the gut re-establish the good bacteria and ease the bloat. What color was his poop? If green and stinky could be cocci...Does he have a runny nose or watery eyes?
I know..More questions...I'm sorry, but without being able to look him over its the only way I know how to help.

No runny nose or watery eyes. I have corid would it hurt to give it to him? His poop was yello but went dark the last few days.

Yellow is the milk, that's normal. Getting dark is probably hay and grain. If it's not running down his legs watery, green slimy grossness..I'd hold off on the corrid.
Have you noticed him coughing or sounding wheezy?

 

[yoopergirl1211]

No coughing. His breathing was a little louder today. I was thinking of putting him back on the pneumonia tabs again but haven't yet.

Might be a good idea. When you get home and have had a chance to check him over, MSG and let me know what you see. We can reevaluate then. And check his milk and feed for any meds. Don't want to overdose anything or overwhelm his system.
