[QUOTE="Farmhand, post: 212213, member: 1292"] Our vet says a calf grinds it's teeth because it's stomach hurts. They don't feel good. Think of how your stomach feels when you have the flu. This could also be the reason he doesn't eat. It hurts more. You could try giving him Pepto Bismal twice a day to coat his stomach so it doesn't hurt. We have done so many times and it seems to work. Use a syringe without a needle and put about 20-30 cc's to the back of his throat so he has to swallow it. This may calm his gut down enough to make him interested in eating again. If it doesn't, then I agree with putting him down. [/QUOTE]
