[QUOTE="Sevierite, post: 487128, member: 1756"] We have raised cattle for nearly 30 years and this is a first for us. Friday morning we found a newborn calf that could not get up. It was cold that day and we thought he might just be chilled. We brought him in, put some storebought colostrum down him and put a heatlamp on him. The critter is now nearly five days old and still cannot get to his feet. He will stand if he is helped but the moment he falls down, he goes rigid. He throws his head back and just stiffens up. He will suck a bottle but the nipple has to be forced into his mouth. He's a good-sized calf...probably 80-85 pounds. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
