Probably a clostridium infection of some sort.
Most likely "overeating" disease. It"s a gastrointestinal infection that occurs at 8-12 weeks when the calves are starting to develp their rumen. It"s caused by c. perfringens C&D. They often have a frothy foam aroun their mouths before they go down. An injection of C&D Antitoxin can save the calf IF you catch it in time. All the clostridium caused diseases are very deady and kill quickly and you should vaccinate with an 8 Way vaccine (Vison 8, etc)several times a year. We vacinate our calves with 8 Way at birth and every time we work them on the advice of our vet. At about $0.60 per shot it"s cheap insurance for a calf that will be worth $900-1000 if you can get him to weaning alive.
