Yep. The one I gave the neighbor boys bloated up bad a couple times. We tubed him for a couple days. Oiled him up. He finally crapped....
That's when I found out about soy protein in milk replacer. Some calves WILL BLOAT because they can't digest it properly!
Alway always use all milk protein, milk replacer. It ain't that much more and the calf will do so much better!
I suspect this may have been the case with this calf. As well as the irregular feeding that
@Buck Randall mentioned. (Probly why the calf was sold. No time to care for it properly) No way to tell on hygiene or cleanliness, but I'd bet the bottles weren't washed properly either.
