My Uncle has a sick calf on his hands and it was born on Sunday. He just lost his wife and wasn't able to take care of it that well because he was arranging her funeral. Last night my cousin and I brought the calf in from the barn into the basement of his house.
It made it through the night, but it hasn't been receiving it's mother's milk. My uncle made a formula up for the calf instead but I know that it wouldn't be sufficient because it was made with evaporated milk. My uncle's getting older he's in his 80's and I want to help him this weekend if the calf is going to live.
What kind of formula would you suggest? What are the chances of the calf surviving. I covered the calf with a coat and put a warm water bottle next to it so that it wouldn't be cold.
