[QUOTE="LGodlove, post: 469964, member: 7367"] I got my a-- in gear when I read the replies and gave her a shot of whiskey to warm her up. She shivered after I tubed her and it may have been due to her peeing and scouring and having a wet behind and it's also about 27 degrees and windy here today, but I have her inside. I don't think she's dehydrated bad enough to need an IV (and if I call a vet out--I'll get a boot in my a-- about it later.) As a side note: I have five others doing fine. My problem is--I extremely suck as a shotgiver. I'm not afraid of needles and I can lay down any calf, but this damn Nuflor is so thick and you are supposed to give it subcutaneously in the neck. I use the 16 needle and can't seem to get it right and get more on the outside of the calf than the inside where I want it. I am so pissed at myself about this--it really makes me feel ignorant. I've been giving shots since October 19, I guess after I use a few of these poor buggers as pin cushions and waste a lot of Nuflor (expensive) I'll finally get it down pat x*&^%$@!! :mad: Here is a pic of her, she's a real beauty. I want her as part of my herd of ladies, so I've got to get her well. [img]http://cattletoday.com/photos/data/500/medium/DSCN2060.JPG[/img] [/QUOTE]
