Here is the scenario:
- Week old normal healthy calf wandered away from cow and herd into the bush about 100 feet.
- Sat in a snow bank/ice bank for some time (occurred after dark).
- In morning, discovered calf. Looked chilled and would not get up. Dragged it out, back to herd, pulling on both front feet.
- Calf still wouldn't get up, had to bottle feed it.
- Brought calf into barn and still bottle feeding it.
- Gave it a 2nd cc of selenium (all calves get one cc at birth).
- Got calf standing up on its own, but it doesn't bend knees to walk and tuckers out pretty quickly, flopping to the floor.
- It is going on 48 hours since the calf laid down in the snow bank.
- Any ideas? :cowboy:
