I know this topic has been brought up lots of times, but search is hard to use--keeps kicking me out.
Had a calf born, in the pasture, ofcourse in a foot of snow (Saturday). Carried it up and put mom and calf in a pen, tryed to get calf on mom, calf would not suck. Next day (less than 24 hrs) calf is breathing hard, shivering and not nursing. Tempatures are freezing..brought it home, warmed it up, tryed to bottle but then tubed. Got the Draxxin from the Vet on Monday, the hope was that the calf would suck and I would take it back to mom. Mom wants baby.
Calf is strong, some scours..Advise?
