[QUOTE="Putangitangi, post: 1737111, member: 5956"] I had one almost exactly like that last year. She was really slow to get up and then I had to feed her. I fed her, kept her going for weeks until it became obvious that there was more than one problem going on. When we put her down, I had a good look inside her mouth: her palate simply wasn't "finished" and it wasn't just the structure, it was also the tissues that covered those parts of her mouth, so she had ulceration along the edges of where the palate stopped. It must have been really painful all the time. If your calf were mine, knowing what I do now, I'd put it out of its misery now, rather than make him suffer trying to keep him going. [/QUOTE]
