[QUOTE="bggoff, post: 267964, member: 158"] I have found that most of the time when a calf goes down and is too weak to walk its usually over.I had a calf a while back like that and he would stand but would not eat.I asked the vet how to get him eating again.He gave me a shot of sterroid and the calf started eating gaining strength and I thought he would make it.Then after about three days he quit eating again.I asked the vet for another shot of that sterroid to get him eating again and he wouldn't give it to me he said he just did me a favor the first time that it is illegal for him to let me give that shot.I already had a fortune in the calf so I just let it die.The key is to keep them eating and that is very difficult.Has anyone here been able to solve that problem without a vet?
