Abstract

A variety of clinical neurological syndromes exist in stocker and feeder calves. These include infectious, nutritional/metabolic and toxic etiologies. One less common neurological entity in newly weaned calves is a condition referred to in the literature as "nervous" coccidiosis.1,2,3,4 This nomenclature is predicated on the observation that many of these calves with this neurological syndrome concurrently have clinical enteric coccidiosis.
