[QUOTE="GaryDG, post: 1240035, member: 1615"] Here's our status: We tubed him 1 1/2 quarts colostrum, per instructions. This was done approximately 7.5 hours after birth since we did not have supplies on hand. Cleaned his body, continued to rub him, brushed him dry, and brought him into the barn. At +12 hours, tubed him 2/3 quart milk (unimilk). He is now more alert, warm to the hand, congestion is gone, ears are perked but still laying down. The calf tried to get up during the milking (+12 hours) but that was unsuccessful. Mom is a new mom, and currently out in field adjacent to birthing location, sometimes mooing. We will get her into the barn with the calf first thing in the morning and hopefully she will address the calf's needs. Any additional feedback will be appreciated. If all goes well overnight, we will probably need suggestions on how to reintroduce the mom to the calf, and get the mom to do the mom thing. Thanks all!! [/QUOTE]
