8 am
Newlyborn. Temp 94 when I found it.
Got it inside. Vigorous rubbing and a hair drier.
Took approx 2 hours for it to show signs it might try.
By 1pm it would kinda stretch and arch it's neck back.
Milked out about 1/2 quart from the cow and tried to get it to take a nipple. No inclination to suck and it's still won't try to stand.
Drenched about 2pm with some colostrum I had in the freezer.
By 4pm her temp was 100.4 and she would stand with help so took her back out and tried to get her on the cow. She wouldn't try to suck and soon fell out with no effort to get back up. Despite the cow nearly lifting back to it feet pushing on it. Brought her back inside to try to get her to suck a bottle. Figured that would be easier to get her back on the cow if she was at least sucking.
It is now a little after 6. She is sitting up by herself. Her temp is now 103.7 and her breathing alittle labored.
Is a shot of LA200 in order?
MM will try the selenium tomorrow.
dun Thanks for talking to me earlier.
Thinking of trying the sugar trick(calf won't suck thread).
Any other thoughts, guess's or recommendations.
The temp tonight is low teens and a foul wind.
I can get in to the dry but can't fix the cold.
