[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9240"] It sounds like besides the complications of having a serious illness, your calf is becoming dehydrated. I wouldn't rely on the bottle for feedings. It's probably because he's too weak to eat and CAN'T nurse, not that he WON'T. Tube feed the calf until he's strong enough to nurse again. It's likely he has a viral infection that the antibiotics can't touch, but they can support him and keep him from catching a secondary bacterial infection. Good luck with your calves.
