[QUOTE="LizHartley1991, post: 1466580, member: 31466"] To everyone on the feed, I feel completely idiotic. My farm hand brought me this bag of “formula”. I gave him money to go buy the replacement for me because I didn’t want to leave the calf’s side the first three days for too long. During the time I’ve hern giving her the “formula”, I was mixing in an egg or I was giving her an electrolyte replacement drink to help her when I thought she was sick from scours. I didn’t know how wrong I was being to poor Mira... Thank you all. I’ll be buying her REAL replacement milk and I’ll be buying scour medication and the works to prepare her for the possibility of getting it from my terrible terrible stupidity... I hope you all don’t think me cruel or a monster. I really just didn’t realize. I put my trust in my farm hand and he’s obviously messed up too. He gave me this same stuff when I took care of my first calf back years ago. Same bag and name brand and everything... The fact that she lived through that is now terrifyingly amazing. I’m glad it was caught before I continued on stupidly. These next days are gonna be rough on poor Mira and it’s my fault no matter who I had but my stuff or not. I should’ve paid attention better. I should’ve been smarter... I’ve learned a lesson and I’ve learned it hard. You all saved this calves life now and I thank you all for that. I’m crying my eyes out feeling like a monster over this and I’ll be beating myself up for awhile... [/QUOTE]
