[QUOTE="donnaIL, post: 809319, member: 37"] Thanks everyone! This morning when I looked at the calf it looked like it was suckling its thigh (it was all curled up)..felt like I was going to get lucky and did...The calf started running around in circles, sucked down 2 quarts, wagging tail fiercly and head butting the bottle. Six hours it was starving again tried 2 qts of electrolytes...sucked it down but still bawling, then drank 2 qts of milk replacer (still complained a bit after that).. back in with mom tonight (she's a good cow and will come running to see her calf). Still thinking about the BoSE shot. The calf does this shaking thing after it eats..its not because its cold, but its like all of its muscles are trembling...lasted for a good 5 minutes..then she layed down. Shes been doing that shaking and I thought just acting dramatic...maybe its something, maybe its nothing? First time with a dumb sucker calf..hope its the last. [/QUOTE]
