hi,
calf went down about 2.5 weeks ago, spoke to vet who said he was prob just weak so feed him up(also gave him multi vit shot) also been giving electrolytes. he is now to the point where he scoots around (crawling) the backyard but still cannot stand. He is eating grass,pellets,chaff, hay and is being fed water from a bottle twice daily(about 5lts each time is this enuf?) He has been drenched and did have lice. I'm at a loss, do I keep going or is it time to give up?
My partner helps me get him on his feet each day and he can stand on own for a while but when he tries to walk he stumbles and falls down again.
When he crawls around he lifts his belly clear of the ground and all four legs do a job but he is on his knees.
he also has a bit of hair loss under the chin and around the stifle area.
he is about 5-6 mths have had him 3mths
he is extremely bright just cant get up?
Pls can anyone give me any advice?
