John,
We did suspect that it was infection in from the naval cord. I had to pull a calf Sunday morning and it and the cow (previously a heifer) made it OK but I did not have Iodine to disinfect the naval cord. It seems that it has been taken off the shelf in feed stores in my area because scumbags are using it to make some kind of dope. You have to get it from a Vet. I seen the calf yesterday and I worry about that naval infection but so far it seems OK, I attributed it to good collostrum from the mom, Ive never had any get that stiff joint deal. Apparently when they get it, the vet cant do anything to cure it. the last one my neighbor had, we gave it LA200 a few times and the Vet gave him some daily shots that still didn't help it, he had to dispose of the calf. It got so bad it couldnt stand at all and you couldnt straighten its legs with all your might, its joints LOCKED down tight. Anyway thanks for the advice. i am going to the vet to get Iodine first thing in the AM for any new calf I can catch being born and keeping my fingers crossed for the ones on the ground.
