[QUOTE="Alice, post: 336792, member: 3873"] Are you feeding her milk, also? Does she act weak? BTW, what kind of milk are you feeding. Milk Replacer? Mother's milk? If it's milk replacer, is it 20% fat and 20% protein made from milk and milk by products? If she's been on two bottles a day of milk this entire time, I'd go for broke. I'd give her electrolytes [b]only[/b] thruout an entire day. [b]At least [/b]3 bottles worth thruout an entire day. Normally, I never give only electrolytes for a day, but this calf is 3 weeks old...and it shouldn't suffer for lack of milk. And everytime you give electrolytes, squirt some probios in the calf's mouth. Also, put some calf manna or dry calf starter feed in front of her, and a little bit of hay...see if she'd nose around in that a little bit. [b]This is only what I would do...[/b] Alice [/QUOTE]
