[QUOTE="just learnin, post: 326032, member: 2823"] Went out yesterday to feed calf and she couldn't get up. Wouldn't drink. We carried it to the house and tubed it. Took her to the vet. He gave us the option of putting her down or trying an iv with dextrose. He is concerned about the Neurological signs. He did the iv, but all it did was make her jitter. Her eyes are not responding to light and she can't stand. He checked the fecal and found nothing. He kept her last night and said they would do what they could and see what happens. Her temp was 96, but he did not think that was to awfully bad. We thought she might of went into shock from hypothermia. She has been in a barn that is dry with hay, but it did get cold over night. She seemed better the day before. She was drinking from the bottle and eating calf feed with sweet feed. She was up walking and had energy. Vet said that he doesn't know, could possibly be polio. I haven't heard from vet this morning, but I doubt she made it through the night, if she did I just don't think she will be right. Most I am sure would have already put her down. I wanted to yesterday, but we decided to do all we could before we gave up. We have already spent more than we should have. I thought we could save it, but it possibly had Neurological problems from the begining. [/QUOTE]
