[QUOTE="holly heifer, post: 529912, member: 2767"] :shock: 8 year old cow decided to calve in the water and mud. It was 30 degrees and the calf was submerged in the cold, dirty water . All that was sticking out of the crap was its head. :mad: We got the calf out of the muck and drug him to the barn on a canvas. His temp did not register on the thermometer, he was not shivering, mouth was cold. We dried him off, iodine the navel, wrapped him in an electric blanket and poked some syrup down him. He did not rally, so we transported him and mom to the vet clinic. There the hypothermic calf recieved an IV, fluids, shot of long acting antibiotic ( Exceed) blood work and finally got moms colostrum. Calf weighed 86lbs. After a stay of 4 days, the calf was sent home. He is doing very well and seems to be ok. The bill was $270. ( I thought this was very reasonable) :lol: [/QUOTE]
