[QUOTE="robinb, post: 1291156, member: 23066"] im happy to report the calf is doing well tonight.i did give him a bottle of colostrum replacer saturday morning. and then a bottle of milk replacer saturday nite. he had such a hard time staying on his feet due to the weak ankle thing, that i didnt think he could stand to nurse. this morning i gave him just a quart of milk replacer in the bottle and helped him to find his momma..he latched on for a few minutes. tonight he jumped up..still on his tip toes but better than this morning. and he hooked right on to her. so i didnt give him a bottle at all. she is not motherly...not licking him or talking to him, but not chasing him away either. i have them locked in a small pen for now. i have high hopes this will all be ok. my vet is awesome. he is an all around vet i guess..he specializes in equine, which is what i usually use him for, but he also does small animals and cow/pig stuff. the heifer seems to be doing ok..still slow moving but eating a little and drinking. i have given 2 shots of LA 200 per my vet. he says that should take care of it. her incision looks good still..crossing my fingers for the best here..but i wont be rebreeding her.
