Thanks everybody for the help. We tried the new nipples and she still sucked in air so this afternoons feeding we put it in the bucket, she drank the milk in less than 2 minutes and did not bloat so we fixed the problem. My once two bottle calves are now two bucket calves. Thanks Everyone!!!!

I tried switching the nipples, and it worked, slightly. She didn't expand but she still filled with air. So we beleive that she is just sucking in air its just the way she sucks her milk, so I think we will be using a bucket tonight with her. With having two calves, should I just put both on the...

Yes, she is on calf/goat milk replacer along with fresh goats milk. The only thing is, is the fair we're taking her too, states the calf must be on milk, with little to none grain and hay. So, I cannot wean her and her owner can't afford to not take her to the fair.

I first noticed it about two weeks ago. It stopped for the longest time and rebooted early this week. She probably eats a little less than two cups per day of grain. While feeding she starts to expand, most times by feeding at 430pm she is back to normal, but last night it was worse, she didnt...

Thanks I will try that tomorrow, if is not that, what else would think it would be?

What can be done to prevent this? Is it harmful to her? Can she keep going like this. I orgot to mention that whn she is done with her bottles she snorts alot and coughs as well.

I have a month old heifer holstein/angus X veal calf, who is going to a fair in October. She weighs about 120 pounds now and eats like nothing before. But when she drinks her bottles she expands in the lower rib area, its almost like her lungs and 4 compartments swell, while she eats. She hasnt...

Thank you, I know about all the colstrum and all that (Plus Ive rasied three show steers so I know some about cattle) (I just want to expand my knowledge), the only thing Im really worried about is putting weight on him. Would fresh goat milk be as good as the 20-20-20? What about putting...

Whats is Phenyl? Is it dangerous to the cattle?

I dewormed them last night, the smorning it looked to be going away. thanks for the input

My pure black angus steer is 7 months old now. Ive been away a couple days and had my father feeding him. Came back today and found on the back of his neck, it was losing its hair, i touched and it was dry. It was a light redish pink. It was rough and when i pinched it a little it felt bumpy. he...

True, thanks for the info!

Thanks I had a good Ag teacher. Why did she abort?

Thats sad, but a different type of experience to go through that, its cool pic, glad you posted it. How many months was the fetus. My guess is 5-7 months of age, but thats my guess. Im I close?

deworm them! if they have scours then you need to make sure they stay hydrated (give electrolytes or gatorade). treat them for scours as well.

Dont get rid of anything, add to it, instead of switching out things, just add. Add a balling gun, probios, cellartor turbo, penicillan, for cuts, wrap, neosporin, ect.

He either sold them to another dairy, or was sending them to another dairy for them to be raised and bred and brought back to his dairy

Because he had already sold them.

If he isnt feeling to good, try some probios, that helps their guts, or Cellerator turbo paste, rich in vitamins and minerals.
