[QUOTE="plarsen, post: 457774, member: 7287"] Hi, I picked up a thin calf at a local sale barn. He was malnouished, and running a temp. Had him on Penacillin daily then switched per vets advice to Naxcell 1.5 cc one time a day. He eats, drinks, manure has gotten runnier, temp is varying from 102-104 103.3 today. He has been on the Naxcell since friday last week. I have had him just a week. He is bright eyed, nose not runny, a slight cough now and then. He lays around alot in his stall munching on hay, drinks a bit, eats about 3 lbs of omni stock mixed with cow grower twice a day. He is not finishing all of it. I have grass hay as well as alfalfa mix for him. I have given him bounce back electrolytes, syrup mixed with warm water (he liked that and wanted to drink it out of the jug) I am concerned about possibilty of loosing him. I am used to taking care of horses and I dont feel like I am getting anywhere. He seems to want a bottle, can I give him one? Anything else I can do for this calf? Thanks for your imput:) Pat [/QUOTE]
