[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 388848, member: 539"] Calves that don't get colostrum at birth require a much more pro-active stance as far as illness goes, and you really have to be on top of your game with them - but they can and do survive, thrive, and do well. Your describing this calf as walking stiff-legged makes me wonder if she doesn't have a naval infection. It also sounds to me, based on the 'to the surprise of our vet' comment, that your vet has written this calf off, so I believe I would be finding me a different vet and getting the naval ill possibility checked out - ASAP.
