[QUOTE="LGodlove, post: 466584, member: 7367"] Thanks for posting the pics for me, Limousingirl. I weaned my three oldest ones last evening, adding additional grain for them and they have free access to water. The black one with the swirls on him in the pic just mooed to beat the band--he was the most unhappy about this change :) Last night, Loverboy, my 3-week old, reluctantly sucked down 2 pints of his bottle and was still rattling and coughed once. I took my feeding syringe and gave him another pint with it. This morning, Loverboy stuck his little tongue out when I offered his bottle, but would not suck--just as I had dreaded. I had to tube him. I coaxed him to stand and he did and got him out of the crate. There wasn't too much of a fight, which isn't good and I know he's weak. He peed after I put him back in the crate. At noon, I will offer another bottle and give him another shot of banamine. If he doesn't suck, I don't think I'm going to tube him then, but I will if he won't eat at suppertime (6 o'clock).
