[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 8611"] Thanks for the response, I was hoping that would be the case. I don't see the calf nursing on its own, but as you say it must be since its getting stronger. I wouldn't mind if it perked up a little faster, though. What should I look for in the eyes as a sign of dehydration?<p>: Its a good sign the calf fights you. It has enough energy to do this it must be eating. The water is good for her as long as she still nurses. Keep an eye on her eyes for signs of dehydration, and on her manure for consistancy.
