[QUOTE="Springfieldsimm, post: 1843056, member: 42580"] We had a calf that was born in the mud. When I found it. it was almost covered in mud with barely its head sticking out. Took it to the barn and tried for a few hours warming it with blankets, hair dryer and an electric heater. That wasn’t making much of a difference so we put it in a tub of warm water. We had to change the water a few times but after about 2 hours her temperature was finally in the upper 90s. I don’t know how cold she was when we started because the thermometer just said lo. 😬 We tube fed it colostrum around midnight. Yesterday morning she would get up and walk but still didn’t want to suck so we tubed her again with 2 quarts of milk replacer and put her in the barn with her mom. She was up and moving throughout the day and at one point I seen her search mom for the udder but she never sucked so we tubed her again (Yes we did try milking the cow but she kicked to kill so we gave up on that). This morning she is lethargic and can barely walk. She doesn’t have a fever and I gave her a shot of draxxin as a precaution Friday night. Something I am missing here or will it just take some time for her to come around or maybe it’s a lost cause 🤷🏽♂️ [ATTACH type="full"]41406[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
