[QUOTE="Moody, post: 1227906, member: 23618"] Also It is 27 degrees and snowing. A couple of days ago it was 50 degrees. That was preceded by 2 days that were in the 20's day and night so not the best weather for me to have a bottle calf for the first time. Should I add 2 cups or so milk at lunch as well as the separate electrolytes? I know 27 isn't that cold for her I and she does have a dry space that is a bit warmer since it is insulated by hay and enclosed on the top so her body heat warms it just a tad in there. I only gave the two milk feedings the other days it got so cold but I feel like 2 quarts total a day isn't enough for her age (from what I have been reading). I will just give a couple of pints of electrolytes if nobody chimes in with " yes give her extra milk with at noon in addition to what she had this morning and what she will receive tonight". Her stool was still runny this morning but had some thicker on top. You probably don't want to see a pic but if you do, here is the link.
