[QUOTE="sidney411, post: 76397, member: 430"] C.B. What would cause nitrate poisioning in a newborn calf? Momma is fine, wouldn't that also affect momma? Is there any way to tell if that is it, and if it is what is the treatment? I have enlarged the hole in the nipple so that the milk runs out and when I put it in it's mouth she sticks her tounge out to the side and chokes and coughs and carries on. I gave her a shot of 10 cc's B-12 complex and 10 cc's ProBios yesterday morning. What I am using to feed her with is some sort of drench gun I think. It has a metal tube that has a crook in it that fit's in the corner of her mouth and has a 60 cc plunger and tube that I stick in the bottle to siphon the milk. It works great since she still has to actually swallow. She had no problem swollowing but she just doesn't seem to be able to curl her tonge to be able to latch on to anything. I am milking momma out 2x a day and feeding baby. This is really getting old, and no improvement. Baby is acting normal in all other aspects, she runs around, eyes are clear and bright.
