[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 322378, member: 968"] Milkmaid is sooo right. I wouldn't think of having a newborn and NOT giving it BoSe (Selinium). Than after giving it at birth, if it was slow moving & sluggish, it gets another full dose. Lack of SE is probably the number one reason a calf does not suck. If you are in a SE deficient area (which most of the US is now SE deficient) your whole herd will benefit from SE suppliment in their mineral. It affects breeding, calving, cycling, hair coat, retained placenta. Too numerous to mention all that it affects. But calf viability is imperitive to have proper SE. BoSe is a prescribed drug & must be purchased thru your vet. After you give it a shot today (I.M.), if you do not see a noticeable improvement tomorrow, I would give it again - SubQ injection for a slow release into the blood stream. [/QUOTE]
