I know it sounds silly, but I think our 5 day old holstein calf may be constipated. He has had a little straw sticking to his tailend so I know he's been getting a little out, but I haven't seen anything dropped on the ground. This morning he only drank half of his milk and then didn't want anything to do with it. My husband came home at lunch to try again, and he wouldn't drink at all at first. After the calf struggled to produce a very thick stool, then he drank his bottle half heartedly (but he got it down). Tonight he wouldn't drink again. He may not be completely hungry yet, but he doesn't want to suck either. Never had a calf that wouldn't suck at anything. He still hasn't dumped any other pooh since the one time shot. Any home remedies for a constipated calf??? or other suggestions welcome. Thanks.
