[QUOTE="Springfieldsimm, post: 1742925, member: 42580"] An update on the calf. Had the vet out yesterday morning since she was breathing harder than normal and had a fever. The vet said her lungs sounded rough so she gave her drexton kp. Her fever was almost gone by last night but still couldn’t get her to eat anything so I tubed her again. And left hay and calf starter in the pen. This morning I tried getting her to drink milk out of a pail with no luck however she had eaten most of a slice of hay. This evening I tried a bottle again and she finally caught on and started sucking and didn’t want to stop. So I finally feel like we are on the up. I gave up the idea of putting her on the nurse cow as I had the cow in overnight and then milked her a little in the morning and I just don’t think she has enough milk for 3 calves even with grain. So I am going to bottle the calf or try to find another nurse cow. [/QUOTE]
