First of all THANK YOU!!! to everyone. We have an update! We will not be getting anymore of these br. swiss if I have anything to do with it!! This is the 2nd round of the beasts and there is one in each bunch that pushes my buttons! It's worse than my kids. We had tried a warm bottle of...

Alright I have a Br. Swiss that is 9 weeks old and we have taken away the bottle and the bucket of milk replacer. Now he won't drink water at all from a standing bucket. We have watched him for a couple of days and then even tried to put him on a bottle of water and even a bucket of water...

My grandparents grew up near Watertown so some of my great aunts and uncles live up there and have lake cottages, We used to go up there for the 4th of July every year and try to catch fish and as kids never had to much luck on Ontario. I think we made to much noise! It was nice and clean...

I have a few relatives that live in Watertown, Bellville area actually. I really like that area up there. My husband and his family has a trucking Co. that goes up that way with the trucks, usually when there is snow falling :). I tell my boys of the time when I was really little of my...

Lancaster County PA. How about you? I am originally from Saratoga NY and my parents are from Worchester NY ( near Oneonta).

Thank you very much. I am feeling much better about this week already!! Strawberries are now ready to be picked tomorrow! YUMMM!!

Jeanne, Thank you, I needed to hear that!! We have four boys and I just said goodbye to my oldest 3 weeks ago. He headed out west on the harvest crew. Oklahoma to be exact, near where the tornadoes were this week. Mother's day was a little hard without all of my boys here with me. When...

well, I tried to post pics of this little guy and I think I need a new computer, nothing seems to work!! He is doing well, yesterday he seemed dull again and I called the vet, and picked her brain again. She thought that maybe the virus wasn't out of his system and the milk replacer just...

the little guy seems to be doing o.k. He is waiting now for his bottle He looks like and acts like he is getting stronger so I think we did it this time. Thanks for the help.

Update: Well, Last night we turned the corner it seems, We gave him just the electrolytes early in the afternoon and by the time we got to the barn at 6 pm he was trying to stand. We tried some calf starter (1/4 cup) and he wolfed it down!! He also nibbled on some hay. we gave him a...

he still has the scours and I will look to see what the ag store has, I was just there and didn't see anything but I will look at another store.

Well, the vet called and told us that it's probably a virus by the sounds of things. And that he is dehydrated so, We have him on Electrolytes and am trying to keep him warm, There is a cold wind blowing that finds any opening in the barn it seems. She had told me to stop the tetraspan now...

I actually have a call into a vet right now, The calf is still alive but we couldn't get him up this morning. We will just have to wait and see what they say I guess. I could spend enough money on medicine to equal the price of just getting the vet out I guess. This little guy has me stumped.

We do get the better of the two milk replacers that we can get. He does have access to good hay and sometimes he munches away at that. The two other br. swiss are doing great! A little hyper but great! they do get calf starter, but we hadn't tried the sick one on it. Ill do that tomorrow...

The thing is that He was starting to get weak when we got him ( he was on milk at the time). We had gotten two other calves from the same place and they both were a little wobbly in the back end but they straightened out in a day or two, we were just chalking it up to them being under a week...

He doesn't seem to have alot of loose poop now, Also his nose isn't dry ( if that has anything to do with anything). We are giving him a bottle and a half 2 times a day today ( of course thats by tubing him), Should I be giving him some more in between, I remember giving another calf that had...

I saw that in other posts, I will get on that right away in the morning if it's not to l
