calf won't eat or drink

[Cole]

Hello All, I'm new here and fairly new to calves. Could use all help i can get. I bought a calf at the sale and it won't eat or drink anything. I've had it over 24 hours now. I thought it was a bottle calf but my brother did get it to take a couple bites of feed from his hand and that has been all. How do i get it to eat, it is so skinny and wobbly.Not sure but it looks to be about a month old, not sure how long away from mama since i bought it at sale barn. It has not had any BM only urinate once. Have tried to bottle, hand and bucket feed but it did not eat or drink either way. It looks as if it had been starved. It is alert and gets up and walks, wobbly and slowly, but walks. Gave it a shot of penicillan yesterday and today.

I would think its the new environment. When hauling or transporting our cattle we give them some probios to get them back to their normal amount of feed. Best of luck
