[QUOTE="Alice, post: 517337, member: 3873"] The calf isn't acting sick and the calf is eating dry feed. Keep the feed out, especially calf manna. I truly would not worry anymore about making the calf take a bottle [b]if he's eating feed[/b]. Think of it like this...chances are the calf won't take the bottle no matter how hard you try...and you'll stress it out in the process, nevermind the stress on yourself. If it absolutely won't take the bottle, and you're determined that the calf needs it, then you'll have to tube it...more stress and the chance that you and/or the calf will get hurt. Tubing a well calf that's eating dry feed...no, no, no! As for the probios...it can't hurt it and it'll sure help it. I gave my babies probios as a matter of course and had a lot better luck with keeping them well. When's the next sale? That's another option... Alice [/QUOTE]
