Supposed to have 6 molars top and bottom on each side in the back, 24 in all. But I can't find anywhere that says when they get these back molars. She has none right now.
 
Damn, found her back teeth!! Feel stupid. I did not realize they were that far back. Her teeth are all fine. Vet looked all in her mouth, listened to everything. Temp was 103.5. He could not see or hear anything that alarmed him. Gave her an antibiotic, a booster and vitamin shot. Hopefully get her going. Pouring down raining here!!

I agree with 1982vette about selling her calf and give her a chance to recover and get bred back.
I agree with hook too about feeding her. If she doesn't pick up with that, she may have other problems besides teeth.
I would also worm her with Invermectin Plus to be sure that she doesn't have flukes. A fecal test for parasites is not 100% accurate. It only indicates that there are adults shedding eggs.

Good luck with her.
