Subject: Sick calf


south west iowa
We have a heifer calf that is a bottle calf she was a twin that is about 450 lb now. I know shouldn't be getting a bottle but we dont wean them till we wean the others calves. Any way about two mounths ago she got sick had 105.9 temp and would not suck her bottle or eat creep feed and acted like she couldn't see very good. So we gave her flu-nixd 10 cc shot, draxxin 4.5 cc shot, micotil 10cc shot. Then the next day we gave double dose of a black leg shot per vets advise. Didn't get any better so on 3rd day we gave her 10cc shot of penniciln. And she was better the next day. We skiped a day and gave her another 10cc shot of penniciln. And the next day she got better and back to sucking her bottle and eatting creep feed. Now tonight when we went to feed her the bottle she acted like she couldn't see very good and acted dunb and wouldn't suck her bottle. We didnt take her temp but gave her 20 cc shot of penniciln. Any ideas of what she keeps getting and why. Thanks for the help Steve
