[QUOTE="rex, post: 365340, member: 6211"] I had a calf born late friday evening to a heifer. She delivered fine with no help. The calf tried to get up a few times but seemed to have trouble standing. Saturday morning it was cold, windy and snowing. I went out to check on the calf and had trouble finding her. She was laying in the creek up to her neck in the water and shivering. I got her out and wrapped her up and took her to the house to warm her up. I noticed her eyes were bloodshot. What causes this? SHe also could not stand but after I warmed her up and gave her electrolytes and later some milk she had a lot more strength. She has trouble but manages to get herself up and can stand but has a hard time staying up. Her right hind leg bends like it is still soft and her knee bends backwards. She is uncoordinated like a newborn otherwise she acts fine. Anybody know whats up with this? Also her and the cow seemed to have bonded. How long before the cow wont take her back? She cant make it in the pasture on her own yet. Thanks [/QUOTE]
