Sažetak
A 2 weeks old female Holstein calf with a history of weakness, ataxia, difficulty in moving, and congenital abnormal position of forelimbs was observed at Ambulance clinic of Veterinary faculty of Zagreb. In clinical examination weakness, carpus valgus deformity and difficulty in moving were observed. Vital signs, hematological indices, and serum concentrations of electrolytes, minerals, total protein, albumin were normal, but serum concentration of manganese was low. Because of carpus valgus deformity and low level of serum concentration of manganese, congenital manganese deficiency was suspected. Manganese sulfate was administered oraly at a dose rate of 55 mg/day for 10 days. After the treatment, all clinical signs subsided. In the present report, low serum concentration of manganese and response to manganese supplementation confirmed that the cause of carpus valgus was manganese deficiency.
