[QUOTE="paigep, post: 1384720, member: 26584"] I got an orphaned calf about a week ago, they told me he was "a couple weeks old"... so i'm gonna assume he's 3wks. I know he was on his momma about 2 days before she died, and that's about all i know about this little guy. When we first got him he was perky and playful, and now he's just sulky. i feed him Dumor special medicated calf milk replacer, 2qts twice a day. and this morning i just gave him electrolytes. his poop seems fine, a little loose at times but nothing to really worry about i didn't think. Now that's i've got the background out of the way...a few questions.. -he's started to cough/hack, but no runny nose or eyes, he's weak like when he walks he sometimes falls to his knees. is he sick? or not getting enough nutrients? just checked his temp 101.1? - he isn't taking to the calf starter(also Dumor) and i know he needs to start but i can't get him interested. any pointers you could give would be great.. - lastly, he's small...and i'm not sure how big he should be. posted pics also!! Thanks in advance for your advice!!!
