Cowboy and others,
I have a calf that has/had navel ill. We had it bad this year and once we figured out what was going on we have been able to treat all the other calves. This calf however we can not get over this infection. We have been fighting it for a month now. We have poured more penicillin into him then our other calves combined. His joints are still swelled and he gets up to nurse and lays right back down. We have them out in a big pasture and it is fairly dry and lots of grass. We are getting to the point that we are about to just give up. We had a calf a few years ago that had this same problem and he lived though weaning then just died.
Any suggestions??
Thanks!!
