Calf born and his back and side are hard lumpy mass under his hide. First calf heifer and he weighed 30 lbs. The lumps were hard as a rock almost like clumps of stuff stuck under his skin. It is now peeling off and looks like he was burned in a fire but the pigment and hide seems to be coming...

We have British White cattle and have had the mixed commerical herd for years. The British White is the most EASY, cattle we have ever had. LOVE THE BREED ! Easy on your pastures, easy to work, easy for sure to calve and gain weight just looking at grass. The meat is out of this world !! We...

He has been away from mom for 2 weeks. He is with another bottle baby. He finally drank hours after this post. I find Bull calves to be more stubborn then heifers..haha

I have come to the conclusion that bull calves are harder to bottle feed. Every heifer I have raised have always been DRAMA !! love to eat, eat and eat. This bull calf finally about 3 hours after I posted this..grabbed the bottle like there was no tomorrow and drank the full bottle. He only...

3 week bull black baldy calf. Drinks bottle twice a day. Now he drank yesterday morning and will not drink. No temp. No stress ..he just is not hungry. He cries for it but turns his nose up. I have tried everything. He has done this before but not this long. He has been eating grass yesterday...

I have a 3 week bull black baldy calf. He hits the bottle like no tomorrow then back of some days. He got a bottle at 10am yesterday. He will not even suck now. His temp is fine. He has done this several times but not this long. He cries for his bottle then turns his nose up. He seems very...

Update !! I believe Chippie is right. I believe this calf has an imune problem. But ! He is now 3 months old and after all this time he still only wants his bottles once a day. He now has a great routine and he now comes up every night crying for his bottle which he never did until a couple...

Final Up date on this very sick calf. I am telling you all. This is the worst case of starvation, joint ill, and the unknown cause of his wet chin that took the hide !! right off ! Like a burn !! I contacted Imutek , Inc. again and I mixed the Colostrum, Kick Start and the Medicated milk. This...

Imutek, Inc. swears that feeding the colostrum helps build the body up. Go to Imutek.com. This is my 4th calf to raise. 2 successful the 3rd I took advice to tube him and I believe I over fed him and he died the next day. The vet just keeps telling us to pump him with medicine. The reason I am...

Read my previous post. Now this calf is PERFECT to eat, drink. All vital signs are perfect. He shows no stress or discomfort. But !!! Now he is limping on the left front. He has never played like a normal calf. He does not want to go outside anymore. He walks like an 90 year old person. Does not...

Update, I think that when I put him out in the sun for a few minutes that it made him so relaxed that he just layed down and lay flat. Because he has been perfect to take a full bottle at morning and night. I do not try and feed him in the middle because I have learned that most of the times a...

How many cc's do I give him ?

Well today I again attempted to put him the sun at the end of the barn Isle for just a few minutes. Got him back to his pen and you would have thought he was near death !! Flat out as a pancake !!! Like in a Coma !!! then about 2 hours later I came back and he was standing like nothing happened...

2 days of Kick Start and drinks full bottle twice a day, eats calf mana. I walked him to the end of the barn to get a little sun for about 20 minutes. Walked him back and now he is laying FLAT OUT !! like he is dying again ! He does have some conjestion in one nostral. Could it be a heart...

In horses, that sympton is called Narcaleptic. When they relax they colapse. Does not hurt them in any way. Not sure of the same for you but as long as he is fat !!! eating !! and nursing just let him be. If you take him away from his mama ..it may stress him. Just my opinion.

Thank you so very much for the education. I am on my 4th orphan and I lost one in error. Tubing was the cause. I feel guilty as heck. Thank you so much.

The "Kick Start" worked !! 2 days and he has come around to about 95%. He comes for his bottle at least 3 times a day !!! He filled out in his poor little boney body. Thank you so much !!!!!

OK. We were ready to dig a hole after 72 hours of acting like he was dieng. I drove and picked up the little packets of "Kick Start" and took me about 6 hours to get him to suck. To make a long story short, He has drank 2 full rations of milk mixed with the Kick Start and on his own chased the...

Temp is 100.1 solid. He drank his full ration Monday at 3pm and he actually started to play. Then he did not drink for 48 hours. The vet said we are doing all we can do. Took him off Banamine. This morning he ate some hard food and drank 1/2 a pint. The last time I tubed a calf ,,, it died. At...

He is now 2 weeks old and the only time I can get him to drink is with Banamine. Temp is normal, breathing normal, bowls and urine normal. No mucus in nostrils. But what concerns me is...He chews his cudd I believe and looks content but when the Banamine wears off, he has a very wet chin. Like...
