Re: URGENT HAIR ISSUE Posted by Red on May 8, 2008, 10:55 am, in reply to "URGENT HAIR ISSUE" 64.12.117.142 it is probably hot spots or rain rot. It's a bacteria & penicillin will take care of it. Don't use any heavy ointment or creams. You need to get air to the area. Usually caused by moisture collecting. Make sure you really blow the calf off really well. Thicker coated animals most affected. Red  Post a Response

He's rubbing to scratch and the hair comes off. Treat him with Ivermectin (and any others you have) and he'll fill back in.  Post a Response

Pour him with Ivomec and use a daily lice wash that human would use. You can get that at any drug store or Walmart. Hope it helps!  Post a Response

Re: URGENT HAIR ISSUE Posted by Showstopper on May 8, 2008, 3:22 pm, in reply to "Re: URGENT HAIR ISSUE" 71.50.193.213 This time of year it could be lice!! The hair falls out in clumps with lice. Neither of us really knows without seeing the calf. It was just my opinion and that is what this person asked for.  Post a Response
