I have a cow that's bag is blown out. She had a calf about a week ago. The calf is alive but today was real droopy eared, poor looking, and weak. Its getting some thing because its still alive. I have seen it try to suck off to little teats on the back of the cow.
Today I put the cow and calf in a small pen together with a bale of hay so the calf doesn't have to go far.
I'm hoping to maybe supplement the calf until it is big enough to get on the blown out bag. So here are my questions:
Can I give a calf pedialyte to pep it up a little?
Has any one herd of feeding a calf straight vitamin D milk from the store? I have heard some other people say it works great.
Any other advice or ideas?
