[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 543190, member: 411"] Maybe I am just confused but is this calf constipated? Normally we give pepto/Kaolin-Pectin for diahreah/ scours. If this calf if constipated wouldn't that make it worse? I guess I am just missing something. I would think that the tubing is unnessisary (sp) and doing more harm than good. If he was truly as hungry as you may think he would be more interested in the bottle. Keep in mind that he is a young calf and they don't eat a ton at a time. We had a cow in the same situation that we purchased and she calved at 15 months. People line breed with no ill affects. Not saying problems don't accure from this but I don't think that this has anything to do with that. Is this your first bottle calf? I do agree with previous post about checking her milk production. Will wait to hear from you. Double R [/QUOTE]
