[QUOTE="mjjanssen, post: 1434378, member: 29151"] we had a calf about 4-5 days old get stuck in a pond. think he was there for a couple days. he was very close to death when we got him out. tried to get him to suck on mom but mom was dry. he now has become a bottle feeder. I can't get him to drink from a bottle or pail. he sucks and chews the nipple and my fingers but he refused to swallow while doing it. he has had colostrum and we have been tubing him. know he was sucking on mom. I have tryed a sheep's nipple, squirting small amounts into his mouth and nothing. searched everywhere for answers. he went 10 hours today without food and he still didn't want to suck. can't keep tubing him because he is getting really strong and Hayes it causing him to get stressed out and getting away. he also seems to be lazy and spends most of his time standing in the shade or sleeping. that's all I have to tell. I really need help so thx and I'm looking forward to your answers [/QUOTE]
