[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1464547, member: 22072"] You'll have to tube her, but don't give up on the bottle. Sometimes it just takes a long time to get them to nurse. Cut a bigger hole in the bottle so even if she fights it, milk gets in her mouth and she has to swallow. Sometimes doing that helps a lot. But, if you cant get it in her via a bottle, you have to tube it down. You do have to be careful with the smaller calves though. Make sure you have someone to help hold her so she doesn't struggle too much and make sure the tuber end isn't all chewed up where it will scratch going in. [/QUOTE]
