A little white snot. Do I worry?

Citychick · #1 03/03/12, 08:19 PM

I have a little white snot in two of my calves they were born on 2-11 and 2-14. The 2-11 calf scoured some when we brought them home, is over that. He still seems slightly hunched most of the time or maybe just more withdrawn than the other two. But no fever. They both eat well and tear around their outside pen when let out of their stalls. Do I worry or just watch? Thanks

I would just watch

IF the weather has been jumping 30 degrees as in 60 during day and 30 at night or something like that that has been happening here

temp was 101.3 within a degree

and no coughing

I agree with Myers. I've had a few calves get the snots with no other problems. Sometimes sniffles are just sniffles. Here's hoping this is one of those times.

Agree with both above. Just keep an eye on 'em.

Thanks! I will keep a good eye on them.
