[QUOTE="Farmhand, post: 68843, member: 1292"] Raise bottle calves here. Have had similar incidents and we put the calf in a normal position and waited for it to get its bearings back. Means sitting in the barn for an hour or so and posssibly an extra trip to the barn later but usually they end up nursing on their own. Only time we ever drench a calf is if we get a weak one from a salebarn. Too much stress. Sometimes doing less is more if the calf was otherwise healthy. Don't worry about it not getting a full feeding as usual either. We wait in the barn a while and get it to eat what we can then. If it didn't take a full feeding, we go back out later and try to get it to take some more. Usually by morning everything is back to normal. [/QUOTE]
