    we have had a few calves not getting up and watery eyes the last few days, injected them but seem very down in themselves..

    All calves very tired, we dehorned last saturday and bought them the tuesday before.. Hasn't happened us in years, this is the first year its happening a good few of them

    Bought a few bottles of baytril just incase..

    We rare around 20 of them (groups of 10) a year for the young lads to rare them on milk replacer ..

    Any help appreciated/past experience! :D

    Had something like that last year, watery eyes,bit down, runnin a temp around 104, treated with tetroxy LA ,seemed to work but they were coming in twos and threes and was going through the bunch talked to the vet and he reckoned it was IBR ,first I had heard of it, scared the bejesus outta' me so I vaccinated was talking to a neighbour some time later and he had the same thing he didn't bother vaccinating just treated them all with antibiotics and beat it. I lost one and sent the heart ,lungs and windpipe to the lab for testing, that was a waste of time ,inconclusive, so cant be sure it was IBR but after vaccinating that was the end of the problem , best talk to your vet.

    when we got hit with ibr a few years back we had calves 10 days old dying, now vaccinate all cows twice a year and calves @ 14 days with Bovilis live no problems since
