[QUOTE="hewitt_teresa, post: 159133, member: 3071"] We just lost "Norma's" Mom two nights a go. We have gotten bottles and calf formula from the local feed co-op. We Have been trying to get her to take the bottle for two days with moslty no luck. She will take the nipple into her mouth wiht no problem and hold it there for 5 to 10 minutes before dropping it but she is not nurssing on it. we have tryed molasses on the nipple...she likes the molasses but still didnt nurse on the bottle. she is eating alfalfa hay. about a 1/2 flake in the hour we were watching her. Do you have any sugestion on suplements or tricks to get her to take the bottle? Or can she survive on putting the dry milk suplement in Cob or something else if she doesnt take the bottle? [/QUOTE]
