[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1353280, member: 22072"] if the calf has not nursed, do not feed it milk. You need to get electrolytes in it asap. Hydrate it day one, then slowly add milk. Meanwhile, milk that cow down so that when you put the calf on it, the teats wont be so big. Bagging or giving the calf milk now if its possible it hasnt nursed, will kill it. It needs hydrated... Its possible the calf nursed some early on, or, does she have a extra teat on the back of her udder? Its still alive because it did at one point get something, but those teats got away from it.
