[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1726426, member: 39373"] Wow. This is not expected. In the time it took me to get to town and get milk,(yes, I was out of milk replacer) that calf bloated (and I mean he was aired up something fierce!) and was dead as a freaking doornail, by the time I got home. I hesitated to post this, but it's a learning experience. For me, as well as anyone who may be reading.... Makes no sense. He was very alert. Bright eyed. Bushy tailed. BUT! He appeared maybe just SLIGHTLY bloated to my eyes. I just thought for sure I'd come home and he would be ready for a bottle. I can tell it appears he was pushing to poop. His behind is bulging like he was trying to poop. Unbelievable! Never had this happen. And that's how one gains experience. I should've tubed him b4 I went anywhere or did anything I guess. Lesson learned the hard way. Sorry guys... [/QUOTE]
