[QUOTE="Evie, post: 543756, member: 8335"] baby calf takes the bottle fine now. Started last Saturday. He seems to really like the bottle now. He has never scoured. Sometimes I think he still hurts or something after the bottle, like when we tubed him. (vet say he tubed one for 6 weeks once as it wouldnt eat. He told me that was the only option if I didnt want him to die--- vet also thinks because he is line bred that he has problelms, Well, everyone I guess has an opinon and that's his) The calf will start to walk away after he finishes the bottle, not always, but a lot of the time, then get all rubbery in his legs and sometimes he even falls. Then in a minute or so, he is up going strong. He still sucks the cow a lot, but doesnt get much. Tried to push feed to her but doesn't seem to be helping her milk. Anyway, no scours, havent seen any blood for a few days. Ref rota virus you mentioned, I think the Calf Guard will cover that, hopefully. WE give it before they are 12 hours old. This weekend I will have more time to spend with him, hopefully. Thanks for your concern. [/QUOTE]
