[QUOTE="DATorrie, post: 1423220, member: 28489"] I am real sorry if the answer lies somewhere within all these replies... but I am running out of time. Dolly (shorthorn cross, perhaps) was 5 days old when purchased from a feedlot. We purchased 5 altogether and the bull calf died within 2 days. Dolly went off her milk - not drinking her bucket, really depressed looking. To the vets for help. Kept her over night and put on antibiotics and IV fluids. Tested for colostrum and she was borderline. For the past 8 weeks she has been up and down with lethargy and off milk. Not a great eater of oats, grass or hay. She just lies down for the whole day. NOW, we find out she has facial paralysis (left side), on medacam and trimoxidan. Off milk again!! Obviously her immune is so compromised that nothing is working for her. Is there anything I can do for this calf to boost energy and appetite. [url=https://postimg.org/image/kgow5cq3x/][img]https://s14.postimg.org/kgow5cq3x/dolly.jpg[/img][/url] [/QUOTE]
