[QUOTE="prairietrail45, post: 1225868, member: 23481"] Was the calf cold when you tried to feed it the second time? If they get too cold they will lose their suck reflex. If they are too cold when you give them milk they won't digest it and it will just sit in the stomach and curdle which will make them very sick. If the calf was warm and wouldn't suck it was likely still full, or perhaps could have been constipated. I had a goat kid one time that hadn't passed his meconium, he wasn't interested in eating, gave him an enema and a bunch of meconium came out and about an hour later he was hungry. How is the calf today? [/QUOTE]
