[QUOTE="carla, post: 22743, member: 113"] Thanks for your concern, Linda. The last couple of days, I have gotten him to take a bottle so I don't have to tube feed him. When he got up enough strengh to try and stand, I noticed both of his first legs were folding back under. I have splinted both of them and this helps. However he is still to weak to stand long enough to suck. The heifer is extremely gentle so this helps. I think in the long run she will take him. But I have to get his strengh up so that he can stand up without having to lean on me. At least we are making progress. Better then some that I have had. PS Sorry about the crack that I made about epds. Normally I'm all for it, except that I have had the vet out 3 times this week alone to pull 100-103 lb calves. Somethings wrong somewhere. [/QUOTE]
