We have a calf we bought (born the 1st of the year)that just dropped a bunch of weight and has gotten to the point of struggling to get up.
We thought it was wormy so we gave it feed through wormer a few weeks ago and it dropped more weight. We thought it probably didn't get enough to get it cleared up so it got a shot of wormer tuesday.
It has a very snotty greenish discharge so yesterday I gave it a penicillin shotthen another today.
Today the discharge seemed clear again but it's still weak but the scours are gone.
It is eating just not chowing down.
We have been giving it a couple of raw eggs a day for protein, CMPK, some probios for her stomach and electrolytes in her water.
I felt like she was headed in the right direction with the eating better and drinking and seemed to getting a little more strength.
We got home tonight and she was laying there just crapping without standing up, also noticed she was peeing.
I walked over to see if she would stand and she really struggled to get up and I noticed blood in her stool.
Could it have been bad worms and will it take a day or three for her to get strength back?
Any input would be great
Below is a pic of the stool
