[QUOTE="clemmie86, post: 766156, member: 13610"] Gee, and I wonder why I don't really like using these forums. Someone is always, always judging you. Glad you are rich and have never had financial problems in your life. And please thank the Lord above that you have NEVER, EVER had any problems with ANY of your calves, EVER!!!! Please do not judge others when they come on here for help. I am sooooooooooo tired of being judged it's not funny!!! You do not know me, or my situation. You don't know my background, or my husband's. He has cow experience, and I don't mean from a distance. He's got on the job, several years worth of in the mud and muck cow experience. Anyway, hubby did take her to the vet today. The vet gave her antibiotics and sent her back home. We're keeping an eye on her, but I'm honestly not sure she's going to make it. And no, it's not 'starvation.' She was doing fine until recently. She and another calf the same age have been off the bottle for awhile. It was NOT done suddenly. They have been receiving hay, sweet feed and grass for quite awhile now. They received all of that before we ever took them off the bottle. She was eating, running around like any normal calf does, until yesterday. No indication of any health problems. Period! She is not a rack of bones with hip bones sticking out. Oh, and I am also tired of defending myself. So thank you to those who have given me sound advice. I do appreciate those who try to actually help. To the others, kindly go fly a kite over the Grand Canyon... [/QUOTE]
