[QUOTE="I luv herfrds, post: 647969, member: 5917"] Had a first year heifer lose her calf on Saturday, but our vet found a bum for her on Sunday. I got the calf home and the heifer took right to her. The guy I got the calf from told me to not worry about the poop on her back side because he had been giving the calf a bottle of replacer. Calf has had no shots. Last night the calf looked completely hollow, like she hasn't nursed at all. Got the calf up to the heifer, but would not try to nurse. Heifers bag is hard and she is full of milk. Calf is peeing and pooping. Yes I called our vet. He told me to give the calf electrolites and terramycin in a bottle. Got a pint down her last night. Calf has the runs and it stinks. She walks around licking the panels. I have seen her nurse on the heifer though, just that first night. Any thoughts on the cause? Calf is about 2-3 weeks old and a twin. They are both in pen away from the rest of our herd until we either find out what the calf has or she gets well. [/QUOTE]
