[QUOTE="just learnin, post: 326774, member: 2823"] Milkmaid thanks for the reply. This calf was doing better the night before. It was drinking resorb from the bottle and the last time I checked on it, she was eating feed. The next morning we found her laying down, she couldn't stand or eat. Her eyes were weird looking. I thought hypothermia and shock. We got her to the house and called vet. We took her in and he gave us two choices, the first one being putting her down. I believed 96 temp was near death. When normal is 102.5. When I picked her up at the vet yesterday she was much better.She could stand up on her own and had normal fecal. She was having some trouble when we got her home, it took her awhile to get up and she was walking real good.They gave her dextrose while we was there and it made her jitter and she urinated all over herself. I thought yesterday she might have a chance. I was floored when they told me I shouldn't give them water. They said all they need is the milk and told me to take the bucket of water out. Thanks for all the info. [/QUOTE]
