Name of the disease in English

Normal general condition

The disease in brief

The general condition appears normal in the evaluation grid adapted for a calf which is already a pre-ruminant.

Clinic & diagnosis 

This transition period for the calf is a delicate period for the clinical assessment of the general condition; remain cautious. For a calf that is already a pre-ruminant, the absence of any enophthalmos is a sign of apparently normal general condition, regardless of the disorders it may present elsewhere.
