[QUOTE="OleScout, post: 1384792, member: 16899"] Local TSC has 2 offerings of milk replacer from Dumor. One has all milk protein (Ultra, I've had good results with this). The other, Supreme, is soy based protein and a calf will starve. Even the barn cats don't want it. TSC also has a nurse bucket with a check valve in the nipple base. It's much easier for the calf to nurse and the bucket is easier to keep clean. The cough and weak makes me worry about pneumonia. Go by your vet and tell him how much the calf weighs and get a shot of Nuflor. I had a similar situation, calf wanted to nurse but was weak and would have to stop and catch his breath. I gave him the shot of Nuflor and he was back nursing the bucket without stopping the next day. [/QUOTE]
