Purchased a bottle calf approx 10 days ago (85lbs.) angus crossbred at sale & have had problems from day 1. He won't take the bottle most of the time. Have him on Dumor milk replacement (3 pints/1 bottle) in morning and evening. He either spits the milk out or will not suck at all. I have started him on Tylan 50 (antibiotic) 3ml IV once a day approx 4 days ago and he seems alittle better but continues to only drink about half a bottle in the morning and evening, if that. I've also tried calf kick start/1 day-wouldn't drink it, placed a oat/mineral mix for feed in pen- won't look at it. Checked nipple on bottle (ok)... Any ideals out there? He won't last much longer. Thanks,
