Do you have any trouble with coccidiosis (sp) in your area? They have bloody diarrhea with that, but usually look skinny and unthrifty, and more than one will get it. Bovatec in the mineral will help that. Is it possible she got stepped on in a way that didn't break any bones, only left internal injuries? Another possibility is some kind of birth defect such as an aneurism or other weakness that just showed itself? I had a calf die at about that age once while the vet was treating it. It literally died in her hands. She did an autopsy and found out it was born with a very weak heart and had a heart attack right then. White muscle disease will take a perfect looking calf quickly but I don't know why it would put blood out the back end. Vitamin E-Selenium is the cure for that and you would need to needle the rest of your calves. Two other possibilities that kill quickly are blackleg and anthrax. Anthrax only happens in certain areas such as Saskatchewan and is very scary stuff that I know nothing about. I think it is too early in the season for blackleg, though I could be wrong. If you have blackleg you will need to vaccinate the rest of your calves with Tazvax or Covexin immediately.
