[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1737482, member: 24027"] I have to agree that the most likely scenario is inadequate colostrum. And [USER=5381]@bird dog[/USER], probably the same in your situation. The gestation calculator is definitely subjective, based on the calving ease of the bull, condition of the cow, the weather, etc. Six weeks premature, 40 lbs and can't stand, walk or suck is sitting in my lap in my avatar (and she recently spit out her 7th calf, a 100 lb heifer). Only other thing I can think of is probiotics to help regulate the gut. You've already given her B vitamins but sometimes I'll squirt a little molasses in their mouth or rub a little sugar on their tongue for a bit of energy. [/QUOTE]
