[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10619"] A couple of thoughts on the bottle fed calf that does not want to eat today. One, you could be feeding him too much. The other thing i have had occur was a "bloat" of sorts. I used mineral oil (how much depends on his weight, ask your vet).. it fixed him right up. I then changed his feeding routine to milk replacer twice a day (morning and evening)and the mid day feeding I use Blue-Lite C.. I also reduced the amount I was feeding him. He did very well.. > HI THERE.I HAVE A FEW CALVES WITH > A BAD COUGH.I HAVE GIVEN THEM > PENICILIAN TWICE BUT IT HASN'T > HELPED.IS THERE ANY THING > ELSE?ALSO HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN A > CALF HAS A FEVER?WHAT ARE THE > SYMPTOMS?I HAVE READ THAT CALVES > WITH POTBELIES ARE ACTUALLY > STARVING.IS THAT TRUE.I HAVE TWO > CALVES LIKE THAT.BUT THEY GET FEED > TWICE A DAY AND EAT GRASS ALL > DAY.SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?I ALSO > HAVE A CALF THATS IS 2 TWEEKS > OLD.HE HAS BEEN BOTTLE FEED FOR > ABOUT 3 DAYS.EXECT FOR TODAY HE > DID NOT WANT TO DRINK ANYTHING.I > EVEN PUT THE NIPPLE IN HIS MOUTH > BUT NOTHING.HE WOULD TURN HIS HEAD > AWAY FROM THE BOTTLE.ANY > SUGGESTIONS?I THANK YOU FOR TIME > FOR THOSE WHO RESPOND. > TEIN.
