Thanks everybody.... I am still working with both the cow and calf. What a pain in the butt! I just have not had the time or heart to put her down. Her teeth are gone.... but she is eating grain and hay so she gets to stay until the calf is eating starter. I have never weaned a calf early...

Continue the oral vitamins! Keep stretching and massaging every day! If he won't get up... turn him often and try to get him up in a sling with his weight on his legs. Watch out for bloating from inactivity or diarrhea the probios gel works great if that starts. I had one that took 4 weeks to...

Don't give up! Sounds like you are doing a great job! I know it is hard but is well worth it in the end!

Update... calf is getting better. He is able to get to his feet but can not stay up long. Vet says he just needs to build up his muscles now. Thanks to all that replied for your help.

Thanks.. I am really trying to save this little guy. My husband will be back today and hopefully we will get him to his feet for a few minutes. He is just to big for me alone. I know once he gets all the way up he will gain strength fast... I pray.
