[QUOTE="Bevie, post: 244037, member: 4340"] My hubby and I have been around cattle from birth, my FIL, hubby, myself, vet have never seen this before. Acutally don't know what the problem is. Gone for 1 week baby was apprx 2 weeks old, FIL checking cattle. when we got home somehow somewhy baby was dehydrated (badly), momma was around but baby wouldn't stand and nurse. We bottle fed, momma was still around. late that afternoon wen't back to bottle feed and momma was gone, stayed late and momma stayed away, moved baby to barn and I have bottle fed for 11 days now. baby has never stood up without assistance. Was nursing bottle great, two days ago, decided she didn't remember how to nurse, or didn't want to nurse, have used nuflor, nutri-drench, penecylin (sp) Electrolytes, last night she did nurse the bottle again, but I'm wondering if this is a lost cause, I HATE TO GIVE UP. Sorry this is so long and I'm new here and saw where there seemed to be lots and lots of help, Thanks for any time or advice. [/QUOTE]
