[QUOTE="Joy of Texas, post: 610540, member: 7319"] I am sorry for your loss. I agree with Frankie sometimes you do everything you can and some just are not going to make it. By this I did learn what causes "dumb calf",which I never knew what caused it before. I have had a few over the years and never knew it was caused by lack of oxygen. I know when I have a cow due I am there to wait and see how the calf does. If it is not up and sucking within 30 minutes I am heading to the house . I'll fix a tubing bottle with colostrum. I'll tube the calf and wait. With in a couple of hours if the calf is not coming around I'll call the vet get a shot and fix a tubing bottle of electrolyes. I'll tube the calf first and then give them a shot. So far I have not lost one. [/QUOTE]
