Got a 65 pound calf at the sale on Saturday. Saturday evening, gave her 2 quarts of the best medicated calf milk replacer you can buy plus PowerPunch (contains B-vitamins, selenium, etc.) and TSV2 vacc plus shot of penicillin.
Next morning, Sunday--she sucked 2-qts milk replacer w/PowerPunch in it and had 2-qts warm water at noon and sucked it and 2-qts milk replacer that evening w/PowerPunch in it.
Monday--I saw signs of scours so I gave her a sulfa bolus. I was concerned she may get pneumonia, so I gave her Nuflor. she sucked 2 qt milk replacer w/PowerPunch in it (was playing w/bottle) in the morning and at noon would not suck, so I tubed her with 2 qts of warm water plus pepto. I had to tube her evening bottle of 2qts milk replacer added Re-sorb and Powerpunch to it.
I just woke up here almost midnight, and tubed her with 2-qts of Re-sorb.
She still has a dry nose and shivers a bit (I have a heat lamp on her.) She doesn't want to suck her bottle either.
What am I missing? I hope I can get her to suck in the morning.
Help, please.
