3 mo old calf- ooky nose

Hey folks,

I did a calf trade with my neighbor today. He took my steer for weaning time and I took his future milk holstein milk calf to tame her down. I noticed when she got home she's got a icky nose. The mucus is white and opaque. I noticed she coughed a few times. She is eating a drinking very well. Quite robust and normal poo. Does she have a respiratory problem? What is the solution?

Thanks!

I can grab a picture tomorrow if that will help.

With the sound of it I'd start la200 and b-12 shot. I don't like just giving shots. But with the cough nose, issue, and now a move. I'd start her in it.

I'd ask the neighbor what he wants you to do with her before I did anything, but make sure he knows she's in this condition.
