The calf exhibited symptoms such as skin erythema, alopecia, corneal ulcers, and diarrhea. Diagnosis was confirmed through clinical signs and response to treatment, which included removing the calf and its mother from the pasture and sunlight, and administering vitamins, anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, and ophthalmic treatments.
