[QUOTE="sidney411, post: 271453, member: 430"] Sorry guy, doesn't sound good. I was given a calf a while ago I posted about that was up and nursing, running around like a normal calf until about 5 days old. He went down and had a lot of the same things you described. I fed that little guy and hauled him around, made leg braces, made a sling, ect, ect, ect. Tried rounds of Nuflor w/ Banamine, followed by rounds of LA200. Long story short a messed with that calf for over a month and he actually grew to the size I could hardly pick him up to turn him over but still no real improvement, I would get one thing fixed and another problem would come up. He kept 'almost' standing so I didn't give up. He finally gave up and would not nurse anymore. I learned a very important lesson that morning. I was rushing amd late to work and tried to tube him by myself - a calf too big for me to hold up on my own but unable to support any of his own weight. It did not work out right and he did not make it. Anyway, I sure hope yours turns out OK. [/QUOTE]
