[QUOTE="Alice, post: 311855, member: 3873"] Vet's around here don't seem real hep on going the extra distance for bottle baby calves. Why don't you ask the vet what he thinks about a shot of Draxxin and banamine. The vet might actually sell ya' a dose as long as he/she doesn't have to give it to the calf. Just make sure he tells you how to give it...sub-Q is what I'm remembering. We bought a bottle of that stuff and it is real expensive. We dole it out sparingly. You might be able to convince the vet to look at the calf if you bring it in to the clinic...or, better yet, take GMN's advice and call the vet suggested by GMN. A dose here and there of antibiotic doled out by a vet who's yet to see the calf...sounds like you're just spinning your wheels. It's a good idea to have put the calf back on 2 bottles of milk replacer a day. Keep pouring it to him. Weaning bottle babies too early, you can definitely run the risk of something like this happening. Alice [/QUOTE]
