I've had a bout with something similar. We have lost a few calves this year- usually about 2 weeks old and the vet has checked for about everything. We have come to the conclusion it may be a form of coccidocous, which is a gut infection. Try giving the calf a dose of penicillan and get a good dose of peptobismol down their throat asap. The pepto relieves some of the pain they have in their gut and may allow them to eat more normally. The pennicillan will help control the bacteria causing the infection. So far, we have been able to save a couple of calves acting sick, but you have to act quick. Their heads will be down and the seem to walk stiffly, mainly from pain in their guts. They may kick some at their guts. We're not sure if that is the actual cause, but so far, quick action seems to work. Otherwise, they die very quickly....

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
