[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9826"] Since your calf had a slow start, it may not have received all the proper immunities from colostrum. It will be a prime candidate to get sick so keep watching closely. If you are sure the calf is not starting to get sick (taken the temperature), you may be overfeeding. First, be sure that you are feeding the BEST MEDICATED milk replacer you can get. Follow the feeding amounts. Is the calf in a place where it can eat grass? Grass is fine, but it does "loosen" the stool for all the animals. If it is not on grass, you might offer it some nice grass hay.
