[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 677428, member: 2308"] Well, the hair loss, especially on her hind end is from the scours. It will grow back. The other hair loss is probably just from the fever she had. Were her legs like that when you bought her? If so, her legs are because of contracted tendons. Not much you can or usually need to do for them. As long as she is walking on her toes at least part of the time, she will stretch them out, and within a couple weeks she should be normal, or almost normal I would probably up her milk to 1 4 pint bottle 3 times a day. That works well for me anyways. What kind of calf starter are you using? Most calves don't care for the pellets, they like the textured stuff better. Put a handful in her mouth after every bottle, it won't take her too long to get onto it. Good luck with her, you've gotten her over the biggest hump, she should be OK for you now. [/QUOTE]
