[QUOTE="Betsy, post: 515492, member: 8026"] Last night I was about ready to shoot the calf just to get him out of his misery. I didn't have much hopes of him living through the night. However, he is still alive, his breathing has eased somewhat, his temperature is now 102.2, and he has been spending half his time sitting up with his eyes half open, instead of lying flat on his side. He doesn't seem to be as interested in his bottle; maybe the antibiotics are making his stomach feel bad. My vet is (thankfully) a neighbor and friend, so he is not charging me for his time. His area of expertise is small animals, so although he may not be giving the calf the very best drugs, I am content to stick with him instead of spending several hundred dollars for someone who may know more. Which is all to say, I have not spent much money on this calf, and don't plan to. [/QUOTE]
