[QUOTE="carla, post: 22485, member: 113"] Had the vet pull a 100 lb calf last night out of a first calf heifer. So much for birth epds. Anyway, she refuses to have anything to do with it. I have had to tube feed him because his tongue was so swollen and he keeps trying to get up, but is still too weak. I have them them put up together in the barn. Usually I will locke the heifer in the headgate and let the calf suck untill she takes him. But in this case, he can't stand on his own, I'm not sure on what to do. If she would just wash him a little, he might try harder to get up. Grateful for any suggestions! [/QUOTE]
