She might be wormy, deficient in some mineral or nutrient, or maybe that calf is just dragging her down too much. It's a lot to ask of a miniature cow to raise a "normal" size calf. Your video didn't show much of the calf but it looked like it was about as tall as the mother.
She was worse when we got them (felt like we rescued them). She has gained a little wieght. I haven't wormed her though so I'll go ahead and do that. That calf is dragging her down too but she is still gaining slowly.
Sorry for being so hard on you. I thought you had , had them longer than that. They definately need some help. Everyone's right about weaning the calf though.
