I'm sad to report that Pandora has died. It is actually quite a shock because she was doing so well yesterday. The vet came out yesterday and gave her some more fluids, she stood up for almost an hour too! Of course, we had to stand her ourselves. She did eat a little bit of grass and we brought...

Well, she's getting enough milk now, even though we have to give it to her by bottle. She's had vitamin and selenium shots, elelctrolytes, antibiotics and fluids twice! She's got a salt block .She's getting high quality milk supplement three feedings a day about 3 quarts totalfor the last two...

No more force feeding, we'll try to push the milk first and checking out the vitamin shots you...

The horse barn where my daughter rides was given twin calves whose mother died during birth. They are now 4 weeks old and one is doing much better than the other. The weaker of the two must be picked up to help stand up in the mornings and doesn't want to walk without a push from behind.They...
