[QUOTE="gabby, post: 100620, member: 553"] Here's the update after week 1. Both calves are hanging in there and taking the bottle well. They're being cared for by a friend who loves to nurse sick young critters back to health. They're still having some scours but this morning I visited them at breakfast and they were both alert and anxious to eat. They emptied their bottles like vacuum cleaners then they got lazy, just like I do after a big meal. They're on milk replacer twice a day plus electrolytes once a day. They've had 4 days of tetramycin for scours. Can't see any growth or weight gain yet but I'm just glad they're alive. The younger one who went on the bottle a day after birth is stronger than the older one one who disappeared for a week after being with mama for a day. I guess that's no surprise. Finally had a normal calf birth today after those two abandonments. New mama and baby have bonded and everything looks normal. Mighty glad to see that. gabby [/QUOTE]
