[QUOTE="ValNFla, post: 205214, member: 3766"] The owner is not the breeder. I do not beleive she is the reason why the calf is having problems. She said the calf was "4 weeks old, barely alive (when she got her),(she) took her to the vet at 6 weeks when she was eating and drinking better. The vet told me there was nothing wrong with her, told me she had "fader calf syndrome"." That is a quote from her email. She said the calf was eating and drinking better at the time of the vet visit and she is stronger now and will run at times. It sounds to me that it was a weak cow/calf syndrome and did not get it's colostrum at birth. I did a little reading online but cannot find anything about how to care for the calf. I am definately not expert in cows but willing to learn and that is why I am here. Can a weak calf have a normal life? [/QUOTE]
