[QUOTE="GmB, post: 7629114, member: 88304"] Really struggling to sort this out, vet bill of £700, 1 dead calf and no answers. Bought in as calves on milk, now weaned, 4mths old sudden loss of condition/weight, not eating, temp ok, no scours, tested negative for Bvd, coccidiosis and ecoli. Vet is out of ideas. Second calf from another group has developed the same symptoms, is in a group of 10 on barley/protein pellet feed and barley straw, same as the group that lost the calf. The lost calf was in a group of 4, the other 3 were looking to go the same way, they were given iv fluids by the vet and antibiotic, they took a condition hit, but are now slowly making a comeback. All weaned onto pellets and then onto the mix. Have always fed soya, but changed to the protein pellets this year as my local miller couldn’t supply soya in small quantities at a sensible price. Any fresh ideas would be welcome! [/QUOTE]
