[QUOTE="Sunny Citizen, post: 1317162, member: 18400"] I have a Jersey cow that I bottled raised. She has had 3 heifer calves (her most recent born about 10 days ago - a pure Jersey heifer). I really wanted a bull for my freezer, but she hasn't cooperated. I decided to try her as a nurse cow and I just purchased a Brangus heifer (twin to a bull that was sold to me as a freemartin). Picked her up on Monday. She was "clean" in the rear end -- no evidence of loose stool. From a nice Brangus operation - sire was a registered Brangus and her dam was a "donor" cow. I was told she was also 10 days old. She has a dried up umbilical cord and 4 teeth. She was with a nurse cow and also on a bottle. This morning she had loose stool. She does not want a bottle, wants to nurse my cow. She did nurse my cow last night (her first night home). I don't know how much milk she got...I had separated my Jersey and her calf earlier and let this Brangus nurse first. I managed to give her a 1/2 bottle of Resorb tonight. Her stool tonight was runny. With a little - very little - blood. (I collected a small amount in a plastic baggie - in case I need to take that to the vet????) I have her contained in a calf hutch and small fence about 10 x 5. She lays down and rests, walks around, bellers at mealtime (at least this short time I've had her). Did I really mess up? Please tell me what to do? Can she be saved???? I plan to give her a bottle of Resorb first thing in the morning. Anxiously looking for any advice. Thank you in advance. [/QUOTE]
