Why would a new born calf have to swallow magnet?

A newborn calf should never swallow a magnet. This is incredibly dangerous and could lead to serious health issues or even death.

Here's why:

* Obstruction: Magnets can get stuck in the digestive tract, causing blockages that prevent food from passing through.

* Tissue damage: The strong magnetic field can attract metal objects in the stomach and intestines, potentially leading to perforations or other injuries.

* Toxicity: Some types of magnets contain substances that can be toxic if ingested.

* Surgical intervention: If a magnet gets stuck, it often requires surgery to remove, which can be risky and expensive.

It is extremely important to keep magnets away from calves and all animals. If you suspect a calf has swallowed a magnet, contact a veterinarian immediately.
