[QUOTE="mystery74, post: 627683, member: 4625"] update: vet wanted to come back out last night because they still think it is something to do with the weather and he needed more energy. The calf was laying against the cold barn concrete wall and his water bucket, his temp was 94.4 vet only gave the calf a 50% chance for him to make it because of this temp. instead of giving him the dextrose in an IV she made him drink it plus a bottle of his milk. we had to help him get up(very weak again) but he did get up to stand. Vet told me to start him on three feedings. I got his temp last night at 10 up to 97.7 and just like the vet thought he started to scour. this morning feeding temp was back down to 95.5. he tried to get up several times to get to his bottle after seeing him fall over each time I got him up on his feet and he walked over to eat he stood for over 2 hours didnt really walk much though , He ate 3/4 of his afternoon bottle and his temp is unchanged but I was hoping he would be warmer after laying warmed up blankets on him. no luck. Still he survives on his own luck but no one really can really tell me what is causing this and if he will get over it [/QUOTE]
