[QUOTE="lgarcia, post: 365466, member: 6214"] Neighbor gave me a calf that the cow had earlier in the week. He didn't realize that the calf wasn't eating, the cow had mastitus. We took the calf and gave it the milk substitute colostrum because the neighbor wasn't sure how much calf had eaten. The calf took some of the milk about 1/4 of pint every two hours on Friday. Saturday morning he ate a little more, by lunch time he was up and would come to the bottle. This morning (Sunday) he ate about 1/2 bottle and we left to go to church. When we came back home he is laid out with his head down and looks like he is dying. He had him in the barn with warm hay but he was cold. Brought him in the house by the fire to get him warm. He hasn't eaten anymore today and he is barely able to hold up his head. We gave in Penicillin and LA200 but he is alot worse now. He has shallow breathing and his mouth and extremities are still cold. I have him wrapped in a blanket in front of the fire. Can anyone tell me what I can do? I hope it will not be to late [/QUOTE]
