I had a set of twins yesterday morning. one dead and one alive. The live one was weak on his back legs and couldn't stand so I tried to feed him; he wouldn't suck so I tubed him. This morning got him to stand a little thought things were looking better. Still didn't want to suck so tubed him. Tonight he is very lethargic and somewhat bloated. Still hasn't pooped in over 24hours. What are your thoughts? Is he not fully developed inside especially being a twin? I am thinking by morning he won't be here, but just wondering what you think is wrong or if there was something else I may have done. Thanks in advance.

Might have a defective intestinal tract (blocked)... he should have pooped at least once by now. Not a pleasant way to die.
 
If the calf is still alive, give it an enema( the kind from the store) or use mild soap suds and
a syringe. I had one like that, it died ( I kept tubing it--- no poop--- :oops: upon necrospy
it was found to not be connected from the stomach to intestine.) :shock:
