6 day old calf

[thebirgebunch]

I have a 6 day old calf that is being bottle fed because the cow would not take her... since yesterday I have noticed what appears to be dandruff, I feel pretty sure that its because she wasn't cleaned by her mother and I did the best I could at the time and she is not constantly being cleaned by her mother... what would be a good remedy to remove this dry skin safely for a young heifer? Any help is appreciated... thank you.

I would try mixing two cap fulls of white vinegar with water in a spray bottle. Mist the calf and work it into its skin for a couple of days. It works on show calves with  dandruff.

Brush her all over her body at feeding time with a soft brush.  Only takes a couple of minutes if you are only bottle feeding one and it's good for the calf.

I think dandruff should be the least of your worries right now!
