[QUOTE="sjewart, post: 3969922, member: 57218"] Ok guys. My 3.5 week old calf (born 2 weeks prem) has been breathing less fast this week and ive been happy with her BUT yesterday and today she's been sitting down a lot, looking depressed, sideways ears and dull eyes. Her coat is very dry and full of dandruff and she has 2 bald patches. Ive noticed she licks the gates and walls in the shed and roots with her nose round the edges of the shed as well. She also rubs herself off the gates. Her bald patches are located one on her hurdy bone and another in the middle of her side so hard to see how she could have rubbed it bare. Is she deficient in something? She had a jag of vitasel at 3 days old and also a Vit E/selenium jag when a day old. I heard her cough this morning but surely she's too young for lungworm? She was also pressing in her sides and moo-ing at same time a bit yesterday. Vet gave me a jag of buscosan for her as she thought it sounded like colic. Could stress cause the dry coat and bald patches? She is drinking ok but she doesnt readily rise - mum licks her up all the time. I will check her temp tonight. She is stretching when she does get up. Would just like to see her with a bit more life about her. She's a very unhappy calf at mo and is looking a bit bedraggled with a dry balding coat. [/QUOTE]
