[QUOTE="donnaIL, post: 637955, member: 37"] Thanks everyone. To clarify...the nose is not peeling (at least i dont think so) the calf has a black nose and it is like it is raw, like it was torn..I checked the calfs mouth and there is nothing wrong with it, she actually put up a good fight. She was not waiting for her bottles and seemed quite content. Also cow/calf seemed quite content tonight and it looked like she had sucked down the udder of mom pretty good. I was worried about the cow drying up as its been 2 weeks (calf born on Feb20) but maybe the constant attempt at nursing stimulated milk...as the cow leaked and dripped alot. I am not seperating them and will check in the morning to see if calf is okay. She was either full or sick tonight...I'm guessing full and hope thats the case! We don't live on our farm so its time consuming to do this bottle feeding. So I'm waiting and watching. Here a picture of her in the timber 2 days old with mom. Shes our first Rito Calf...were calling her Rita, but not keeping any of the calves this year. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v736/DJKribs/Feb09/014.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
