So Brangus, this was likely all from worms? Crazy!

Just watch her, it's likely nothing to treat unless she stop eating or acting lethargic.

You can't fix the damage to the lungs, that calf will likely be more susceptible to respiratory illness always. Be sure to keep a close eye as they can turn downward quickly. Good Luck! Hope she pulls through for you.

Thought I'd throw and update in: Our little guy is doing great! Zero issues, so we're assuming he must've received some colostrum from someone considering he was sucking on everything in site. Our daughter is working with him for 4-H as a bottle calf, so it's nice to see him pull through...

Best thing to do is keep them together, but make sure you feed him if he isn't able to nurse from her at first. Once they're apart for very long you take a huge risk of not getting her to take him back. Remember that with calves like this patience is a virtue, stay on top of the situation but...

Okay guys, I'm picking your brain again! We have a little bull calf who was born last Tues, husband considered pulling him in because he seemed to be bawling considerably and wondering a bit, but I of course nagged him and told him to leave that calf be that his momma would come back to him...

We had this happen this winter, she licked him straight out onto the frozen pond! Just by luck we happened to drive out to check on them and the quite a sight with me screaming get him get him, and then screaming god I hope the ice doesn't break! I would've be pulling him out of the frozen pond...

:cry2: So sorry, the worst part is not knowing for sure! What a beautiful girl she was!

Just keep offering, we don't mix it with anything just calf pellets. They will get it, just be patient. Also on the replacer you need to feed according to weight on the bag. If you have to undermix for scours just be sure to slowly go back to where you need to be.

Definately needed a good experience after last week! Always love to see a healthy strong baby! Congrats Nesi and Thanks All! :)

...and we had a nice little grey bull calf today! :banana:

One word! WOW! So very impressed!

We had one hold onto hers for 6 days, we had spoken to the vet who said to call back after a week. Thanks to the cow for saving us some $$. I would like to know what you end up doing, Thanks!

Thanks all!

We have raised LOTS and LOTS of bottle calves, did 25 in the spring two years ago and they were all on bottles :???: Yes we were crazy! Never use a soy replacer for calves read your labels it may not be easy to tell! We use Dairy Way by Nutrena, it is pricey BUT I would never feed a calf...

We have one like this right now, she's been teasing us with that bag for nearly 2 weeks and is as loose as a goose :)

At this point if that calf hasn't had colostrum nature may decide your fate for you eventually. They HAVE to have colostrum whether from momma or a commercial mix within 12 hours after that minimal with absorb into the gut. I would get a tube down that calf if it doesn't drink asap... Good luck...

Thurs was her last dose, I guess hind sight we should have been more aggressive but you know he doesn't think she got any colostrum at all from her momma and I doubt he got the supp colostrum in her in time. I would say that if it wasn't this it would've been pneumonia or something else. At...

Spoke too soon....got home from work this morning to find out that she died last night. Our daughter went out to feed her and she was lying on her side, my husband said she was just barely alive and luckily didn't have to put her down since she was nearly gone. I hate not knowing, thinking of...

Nope, and unless she starts showing signs of illness we have decided to wait and see. She is doing fine, drinking her bottle well. We are going to finish the probios that we have until it's gone just because but I think she's doing okay. Joints seem to be looking a little better, cord still has...
