[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 198723, member: 968"] I'm a little confused, the calf sucked the bottle the first time than he won't suck now? Also, are you milking the cow out - she will dry up if you don't milk her out at least once a day. Also, I agree about confining the cow & trying to get the calf to suck on her. I'm not worried about how long you tube the calf, when it gets the instinct to suck - it will suck no matter how many times it's been tubed. I have never seen one "get a sore throat" or anything like that. Had a premie this year, his lungs weren't developed properly, tubed him for 5 days, than he just got up one morning and started sucking. But, he was kept with his mom 24/7. I do believe he should get more selenium. When we used to get dumb suckers, we would hit them with 1-2 CC SQ (BoSe) the 2nd day (after a full dose at birth) and 1 cc sq the next day til they sucked.
