[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1442762, member: 18809"] Well, that darn calf is still hanging with us! I have not had a chance to weigh him yet, but I'm sticking with less than 20 pounds. He is just a smidge bigger than my Corgi dogs. The vet called this morning for me to come pick him up, since he was leaving town and there was no one there to take care of him (which is fine, I can feed and nurture him). We have to feed him with a foley catheter, his esophagus is so small nothing else will go in! I am feeding him a pint every 4 hours that way. He does chew, but not a good latch yet. I just took this picture, and to give you a perspective, that is a dog bed he is laying on, with a small floor heater next to him (yes, it is warm here - but we have the air conditioning on and he needs to stay warm). My hand covers his entire head! He lifts his head, looks around, then lays it back down again (the tape around his neck is from the catheter he had in). His eyes are still cloudy. His hair is really short and wiry.... If I can get him going, his dam sure wants to see him!
