[QUOTE="sidney411, post: 76416, member: 430"] Our cows have free choice mineral, we have never had a selinium problem before either. They don't even have selimum shots here that I could find. I know the calf is not tring to nurse on it's own. The teats are not smooth and soft like one's that have been nursed. They are kind of dry and rough when I milk her down. Every time I milk her I have to get the plug out also, so I know the calf is not nursing at all. I have put her on the teat with the cow in the chute and squirted milk into her mouth and nothing. I skipped the morning feeding yesterday to see if she got hungry and in the evening she was too lethargic and still would not even try to nurse. She is not raspy or rattly and does not have scours. She has bowel movements and urinates while I am feeding her. Everything seems to be working except her tongue, I have not given any antibiotics, I have not seen the need to as of yet. I am just getting quite frusterated with the little girl taking up so much of my limited time. And momma cow is getting tired of going through the squeese 2x a day for milking. [/QUOTE]
