[QUOTE="slusser, post: 522209, member: 8082"] Well, it's been a day. Bloat only got worse. Tried to give her electrolytes this afternoon but she would not take the bottle. She would not lay down and I couldn't get her down so we didn't tube her till late afternoon. Followed electrolytes with oil half hour later or so (after we dehorned and immunized the other 2 calves) Gave her aspirin, she was really grinding her teeth. Vet says we have tried just about everything. We contacted a local dairy and are going to try some whole milk from them and see if she can take it. If not that we are out of options. We can try to get her on grain/hay but presently she won't eat anything. When do you let nature take it's course or choose to put them down? Then we'll have to try and find another calf - they are so hard to come by here, the dairies don't want to let them go. We'll see if she makes it to morning. [/QUOTE]
