[QUOTE="B&N, post: 517220, member: 8055"] Husband brought home calf(2months old? or maybe just big baby) weighed 115 lbs down to 105 lbs from sale barn 3/18/08. Full of spunk. Gave him Bio-Mycin 200 (just in case). Problem.... Calf won't take the bottle. Seems to have trouble with the sucking part. Thought we found a cow to put him on but no call back yet. We have been trying out best. Probably get 2 quarts a day down him. He does eat grain and drink some water. Tried electroylytes and didn't like at all. Tried bucket feeding but not real interested. His tongue appears slightly larger than normally but not much. Gave him vitamin B yesterday. Any other suggestions? Calf is urinating fine. Appears constipated some ( we attibute this to lack of milk). This is first calf we have had that wouldn't suck. For me I am a newbie (only raised 10 -12 calves) but my husband's family has raised cattle for years. [/QUOTE]
