Two newborn calves 6 days old both charlioas past few days calves seem to have laboured breathing and genuinely off form seems like pneumonia but each calf has gotten 2l of colostrum from cow and 2l of sachet colostrum provita. They are in a pen with other newborns and no issues with them. Anyone see this happening before thought bit young for pneumonia setting in
