[QUOTE="sidney411, post: 47681, member: 430"] Hello Everyone! I had a 2nd calfer calf somewhere between wed and saturday. Found the calf laying flat on its side saturday noonish. I thought it was dead but it's not. Little guy weights between 50-55 lbs. I carried him into the pens and put momma in the chute to milk her. She has a small udder, not inflamed or 'tight' at all. Bright red blood comes out of all 4 teats. No clumps, I can tell there is milk coming out also, but it looks mostly like blood. Went to the dairy down the street and bought some colustrum. He drank the whole bottle. Calf cannot stand on his own for more then a few seconds. I stand him up and he teeters and totters then falls down. He lays on his side and sits up. He scoots, rolls around in the pens but has not stood on his own. I have fed him 3 bottles now and he will nurse 1/4 and I have been tubing the other 3/4 of the bottle. He has urinated while I was feeding him and I saw this morning where he had pooped. I have been milking momma out and have given her 2 doses of penacillian, will give a 3rd and final dose tomorrow morning (per advice of the dairyman) He also said her milk should clear up in about a week and the calf should begin to nurse her then? Have we done the correct things so far? Should I do anything else? Is there anything else I can do to get this calf going? [/QUOTE]
