Got a calf that momma wasn't feeding enough. Her bag looked ok, but apparently not producing near enough. While still on momma, he got a round of tetracycline and banamine due to an eye that got stobbed, and picked up for a couple days.I finally brought him home and put him on milk replacer. He's getting 2qt both ends of the day, but I've had to tube him to get it down. He won't barely suck. I know he was dehydrated last week by his manure, but he doesn't appear to be gaining much strength. Was born 4-14 at probably 90#, and isn't any smaller now, probably 105# now. Never had one that won't improve, they either get better or die. He's improving, but not much. Sucking reflex is worse now than last week. Any suggestions?
