This is going to sound off the wall, but did you check to see if your calf had a exit hole under its tail? I know , sounds kind of weird, but I have see calves , nice big healthy looking calves, that started to bloat up and stop nursing. Brother had one a few years back, had never seen anything like it, and called the vet to come look at the calf. Vet was an older well seasoned man, and told him straight away that his calf was doomed. He cut the calf a exit, and there was a surprising amount of pressure built up inside the calf, and he emptied out quite a bit of manure. The vet told us, not to get to optimistic about the calves survival, as the incision would try to heal shut, which it did. My brother gave the calf penstrep, and tried to keep the calf clean , and it’s new exit working, but after a week the poor little guy started to fail, and my brother finally dispatched him, so he would suffer no more. There are a lot of things that can go wrong with biological creatures, and no one can do a postmortem on a calf by just looking at a picture of a bloated dead calf. Sorry for your lost. You only have livestock, until you have dead stock.
