[QUOTE="pauline, post: 511702, member: 7770"] Thank you for your postings. The calf took the bottle a little better. I fed her as much as I can. Anyway, time's up for colostrum. Still haven't seen her nursing. I'll continue bottle feeding her. when I found her this morning, she was bleeding onto the grass from her naval area. My husband tied the umbilical cord and the tube with a thread. It seems to have stopped the bleeding. Here is the picture: [img]http://www.ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/calf2.jpg[/img] The grey skinny thing on top is the usual umbilical cord we saw hanging down from new born babies. That is the white thing (now pinkish-brown because of the iodine) underneath that we don't know what it is. You know we seldom look so close to the navel. So we might not know what we are talking about. My husband has given her a short of penicillin. The calf is about 40 llbs - we have small babies for easy calving. The dosage on the bottle says : 2 ml per 150 lb weight. Treatment should be limited to 2 doses given by subcutaneous injection. who is good at math? What should the dosage for a 40lb calf and the frequency? It says twice in 48 hours on the bottle. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
