Calf constantly grinding when chewing

cow man · 2016-05-18 13:17:34

I have a calf that is chewing constantly to the extent that has froth on his mouth and most of the time you ,can hear him grinding his teeth. He seems to weak to suck the cow . Vet gave me powders and injections for him but so far no change. Any advice welcome!

I would take the grinding of the teeth as a sign that he is in pain.:(
Can you feel around his body and see if he reacts to touch anywhere?

What did the vet treat him for and is he long on the injections (whatever they are)?
As above the teeth grinding is a sign of discomfort or pain, hate when they do it.
