[QUOTE="candeejocox, post: 981015, member: 19933"] Calf is still the same. I bought him at toppenish sale. They did not have a truck load of bottle babies like they do on Saturdays bc I went on a Thursday to a feeder calf sale. He was a solo calf , no others with him or like him sold. He is all black minus a star on his head. He was already bottle fed bc he came running when he saw my bottle on day one. I believe he came from a private person bc of this. Nonetheless, he has no health issues for nearly three months minus one day. He is still alert and eating well. He was very bloated Last night. He was on his side legs flaying and wluld not let md sor him up, Acted as if he was having vet hard timf breathing, I thought he would die throughout night. His stomach was very tight so I had to stick him w scalpel and expel the gas. He deflated nicely and half way sat up right after. I still expected him to die last night. To my surprise he was laying upright and ate well again tiday. Alert and same as he's been all week. He's always been rather round. MAkes me think maybe I overlooked his pot belly holstien look, for bloating issues. So besides last nights bloat, still eating well. Alert. He is still getting probios twice a day and digestamce paste for energy and vitamins. I've already put this much into him I will continue w him until he gives up. The rest of the herd seems healthy [/QUOTE]
