What to do to help blind calf... is there medication to help?

That is something you need to talk to your veterinarian about, as I have no idea about the age, sex, breed, other symptoms or any other history of this calf to help you out. Depending on the severity of the sort of disease or illness a calf is inflicted with or whether blindness is a genetic condition, a calf could be permanently blind even if you try to find some way to help it out. So you would be best to go talk to a veterinarian instead of finding any answers on this site.


What can cause a new calf to die?

All sorts of things, from some sort of genetic disorder to a virus or bacteria that the calf picked up in the womb from the cow, or from environmental conditions (from the extremely cold and wet [cold stress] to the extremely hot [heat stress]) that the calf was exposed to when born. Injury from the cow stepping on it or laying on it could also cause some serious damage to the calf. If the cow rejects her calf and he doesn't get colostrum, he could die. Malnutrition of the cow where she doesn't have enough milk or is deficient in a mineral enough that the calf dies when it's born will cause it as well. A prime example of this is selenium deficiency which causes White Muscle Disease.

Bulls and cows are actually red green colour-blind. It is the annoying waving of the cape that causes the bull to charge in a bull-fight arena.
