[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10033"] o. k. no caps. I was desparate, thats the only reason I got on the computer. She (the calf), had an awful spasm last night. That's 5-6 of them in varying degrees since I saw the first one Thursday afternoon, last nights started after I woke her to check the eyes and her appetite. Can this be helped in any way?????? The position she was in, would have been so funny if it wasn't so scarey. Both feet jerking in the air and her still on her rump, she seemed to be trying to scratch both ears at the same time. I grabbed her under her chest, to take pressure off her back. Couldn't this hurt her??????? Her limbs are colder too, and her nose. She sometimes seems to not know what to do with her tongue. I seem to find it hanging out one side of her mouth or the other when I'm trying to get her to pull on the nipple. I keep putting it back in. I know some of the time she is trying to lick her nose or push the bottle out. But her tongue feels cold too. On bottle temperature, is the wrist test too cool for calfs?????????? Any thoughts on light??????? I have been keeping her in the dark at night, thinking it's the normal thing. I thought she might sleep sounder without it. I really REALLY appreciate the advice, it has helped calm me down a lot. I think I over react sometimes, but she has such a calm air about her , I think she would be a great asset, IF she pulls through this. I just don't want to miss something that will affect her for life. Did I say what she is? No, anyway she doesn't have limosine eyes, but she is that color and that size. When she's on her feet you'd call her 'knock kneed' You can't run your finger between them, and her feet set a good foot apart. She's 28 inches tall at the hips. And right now there's not enough meat on her. She is all bones, and some feel sharp. Everyone says ohhhhhhhhhhh! It's another thought, should I pad her wood walls??????? She really is pitifully thin.
