[QUOTE="Farminlund, post: 205946, member: 1132"] If it pooped at the vets, it may be another 24 or more hours before it does it again. Not alot going in = not much reason to exhaust much either. I think the vet did you a disservice if he did not advise on the cost up front & recommend against such an expensive procedure (sounds like a SA vet). My vet would have told me to take it home (assuming I brought it in to begin with) & if I couldn't get any noticable improvement (with my own treatments) in a couple of days to use a 22 on it. Having said that, maybe this was a means of learning how to care for a sick calf & was worth the expense (so you know what to do by yourself the next time) - but to me that should have been discussed up front before he stated. Even at that, it seems high priced but that is a call for you to make. From strictly "a save the calf standpoint", I think the vet took you & would recommend going to another vet in the future.
