[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1331630, member: 22072"] Take her to a vet....sometimes, when a calf gets dehydrated, they linger for days before signs of organ damage shows...Not sure of your timeline, was the calf a month old when you found it? Did you give it colostrum, and the next day it wont drink? BTW, once the calf is over 12 hours old, the effects of colostrum dwindle, over 24 hours its just expensive milk replacer. Next time you find a calf who has not been nursing like they should and is skinny, do not feed it milk. First feeding should be electrolytes, second feeding, electrolytes...then, introduce milk slowly.. Giving a dehydrated calf high calorie feeding, takes up valuable water in its system that is stressed to digest the meal you gave it. If its not nursing the electrolytes, tube feed it....and get it to a vet.... [/QUOTE]
