[QUOTE="Ann Bledsoe, post: 52003, member: 60"] You'll always be able to see a rib or two on a dairy animal. As for his cough, is he on a bottle or nipple pail? If so, change the nipple ASAP -- the hole enlarges on an older nipple and will feed the milk too fast, causing them to cough after feeding. If the nipple hole gets too big, they can actually aspirate the milk into their lungs, get aspiration pneumonia, and die. I plan on changing nipples every 2 weeks while bottlefeeding a calf. If he's taking his milk from a bucket or pan, I don't know what to tell you -- it's the same problem, taking the milk in too fast, but with bucket feeding, there's not much you can do to slow them down. The cough usually clears up within a few days of weaning. Ann B [/QUOTE]
