[QUOTE="nTrouble, post: 1624547, member: 39883"] Thanks everyone. Here is the April 1 update on the calf. He is drinking 2q milk replacer at every feeding (2x day). He has not been interested in a third feeding. He has found the water bucket and will drink a little when he passes by it. When he urinates, it is not dark. He still moves slowly. This afternoon, I went out on a non feed time, and all he did was look at me. He either likes his face scratched or hates it, I can't tell. He just lifted his head straight up an looked at me. One I got him up, he wandered around the yard smelling things. I think that he tried to eat some clover. He was up for about an hour. If he goes back to the country, he will still be bottle fed and observed. It is easier to nurse him in my back yard, and we have more eyes on him here. His nose does not seem runny. I do not see mucus except for the drool that comes out of his mouth when I am feeding him. His joints do not seem overly large when compared to pictures of calves. I wish this site allowed the posting of photographs or links. We pulled about 6 large ticks off of him. What insecticide can be used on a calf? I appreciate everyone's time. [/QUOTE]
