[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 33763, member: 220"] Well, just a shot in the dark here, but would give them a good dose of anitbiotics for respiratory problems. My favorite for that is Nuflor. Works very well. Secondly, the calf that isn't nursing needs to be kept from dehydrating. Use a calf tuber to get some electrolytes down her, the sooner the better. You may have to do this repeatedly until the calf's appetite and desire to nurse come back. A few questions for you, do either calves exhibit signs of diarrehea (sorry about the spelling, kind of tired)? What kind of antibiotics did the calf get? What kind of milk or milk replacer are the calves receiving? Oh, and a note... a side effect of Nuflor can be a bit of diarrehea, but I've never had much of a problem with it. Better to save the calf than worry about a bit of a messy butt from medication. Good luck with the calves. Please keep us posted. Take care. [/QUOTE]
