[QUOTE="dun, post: 750576, member: 34"] If the calf hasn;t nursed by now there is a real problem with it's immune system from not getting any colosturm. Is the calf peeing and has it pooped yet. Look under it's tail, if it's pooped you will usually see some evidence of it. Could be the calf isn;t really hungry and is just messing aorund with the teats as something to do. I tthe udder swellen and hot, does one or tewo quarters appear smaller then the others. Is the calf sunken in the sides in front of the hips. Those are usually the first things I check if I'm concerned about if the calf has eaten. Newvborn calves don;t nurse very frequently, a couple of times a day usually. But if they;ve been laying around for a while they may go over and fiddle around like they might want to eat but they don;t. Usually the first thing in the morning when they get up they will eat, someitmes takes them a few minutes to get aoround to it. [/QUOTE]
