I thought I had seen it all when it came to cattle but here is a new one on me. I found a calf last evening that was stretched out, thought he was sleeping but something didn't seem right so I went to inspect. When I got there I saw what I thought was dried mud on his head but when I went to rub it off it was attached. His whole body is covered in what feels and looks like elephant skin/leprosy. That's the best way I can describe it. The only place you can see it through his hair is on his head but it is everywhere. He hadn't been up to suck so I brought him home and gave him some colostrum. I thought about just leaving him there but wanted to have a vet look at him to see what they thought this condition might be. I googled it on the web later and saw pictures of what looked like the same thing but didn't see a name for it. Talked to a vet on the phone but he had never heard of it either. Anyone else ever seen or heard of this? He's still alive this morning but will probably die. Hope it's not contagious. :shock:
