[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1846635, member: 637"] I don't really call a calf 2 weeks early premature, but, I am giving you all the info I have to help make a call. He is fully developed and does not appear to be premature at all. If anyone had a calf born 2 weeks early, and did not suck, then there is a pattern. No signs of being early, but he is. Huge calf. She looked huge during pregnancy and thought it might be twins. So take it for what it is... He still does not have a sucking reflex this morning as I tubed him again last night and waiting for someone to come help me now. He was bright eyed and seemed to be glad to see me. I will try to get the cow up and start milking her. I am not up to the task right now, either, but it is like when you don't have time to be admitted to the hospital, and then ***BAM,**** Out of your control and there it is. Not going to let him die. Gave him oral selenium last night and going to give him a shot of Mulitmin. Hope that it helps. Thanks everybody. [/QUOTE]
