[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 1234763, member: 122"] The calf never really looked or acted off, if it wasn't for the fact that I saw hay sticking out both sides of it's mouth I would have never pulled it. But Tuesday the calf had finally eaten a pound or so of feed but it's mouth was packed with hay again. So I pulled the hay from the bunk. Wednesday he didn't touch calf feed but his mouth was packed with silage so I pulled that from the bunk too. Yesterday he had cleaned up the feed and when I checked him, his mouth was clear. So I'm hoping I'm done tubing him and will keep him on just the calf feed for a week and then if things are going well I'll introduce corn silage again and see how he handles that for another week before trying hay again. His water consumption seems to be back up to normal also. I really thought it was a losing battle at the beginning of the week, now I'm feeling pretty good about his chances of survival. [/QUOTE]
