[QUOTE="Alice, post: 277370, member: 3873"] My next question, Warpaint. I've had calves do well up to about 2 weeks that I got from the sale barn (dairy calves), and crater. I figured no colostrum...but then it's easy to say that if you have no idea what it could be. I did have a beef calf that someone had brought to me because he felt like that calf hadn't had enough to eat...mother's teats were huge. The calf was about 2 weeks old. I asked if the calf had been able to get colostrum from its mother when it was born. He had no idea. I was tickled to death that the calf ate from a bottle when I got her. The next morning, she began convulsing. I tubed her electrolytes between convulsions...and thought that maybe we'd passed the worst of it. The calf quit convulsing and got up, and acted pretty good. Two hours later, the same thing...convulsions/thrashing. The calf died. Lack of colostrum is an easy catch all when things go wrong...and I'd bet 9 times out of ten it's the right answer.
