[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 208731, member: 968"] IRELAND??? Well really don't know your nutritional deficiencies in Ireland, but here, I would say the calf was Selenium deficient and give it a shot of BoSe (Selenium with Vit E.) I would offer it a bottle each feeding, than when it refuses, tube it. If you can get it sucking a bottle, than you can "guide" it to the teat with your finger or bottle, and switch it to the teat (cow would have to be confined). Some "dumb suckers" will take many days before it gets sucking. Keep checking his temperature and watch for secondary problems. Did you tube him with colostrum right away?? [/QUOTE]
