Sale barn calf with a cough
After losing a pregnant mom and her full-term calf, we bought two week-ish old heifers at the sale barn. They looked great when we got them but quickly showed being sick even the next day. Scours, green gunk from their eyes, etc. We haven't bought many calves from the sale barn so I didn't realize we should have done electrolytes the night we got them. They drank their milk that night fine, but the next days were a struggle. This was about a week ago. After 2 days of Vetrimycin 100, and then 1 day of Baytril with electrolytes given between milk feedings, they seem to be on the mend. The only thing is one of the calves has a cough. Definitely more noticeable during/after drinking her bottle. I googled and it says possible milk getting in her lungs so I'll see about getting a slower bottle. I did give a 2nd dose of Baytril yesterday (2 days after the 1st) but not sure if I should do something more? They otherwise seem to be doing much better with their eyes clear and scours almost gone. Today is the first day they won't get electrolytes at noon since I'm in the office and not home. Figured I'd ask here before contacting the vet.
