[QUOTE="LizHartley1991, post: 1487040, member: 31466"] I had a thought about frostbite being the culprit after I read up some stuff online. Poor cow. Still looked painful. I fed her 1 3/4th quarts of formula this morning ( 3 1/2 Pints) and she was walking better and more alert. But she’s still struggling with sucking for long periods on the bottle. She was able to get half a pint down before she had to spit the nipple out of her mouth. By the end of the bottle at the 1 3/4th mark, she wasn’t interested in trying to drink anymore. But her appetite is trying to return. I have a thermometer but there is no way whatsoever I can use it on her anymore unless someone holds her for me. She’s too big now for me to man handle on my own and not hurt her or me. And we don’t have anything to secure her to a spot for me to check now. At this point it’s hope and pray and watch her for the next few days. [/QUOTE]
