[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 122457"] Well, you got some choices, but I know what I would do. You got one that is failing - time to take it off the cow. Do NOT bottle feed the larger of the two - it will still take the lions share from mom - give the bottle to the small one. Or did you mean that you have removed the larger calf from the cow? If you did I would reverse this. The calf is a mammal - give it the same oil dose as you would for a human - grab the thing and pour it down its throat - have to manhandle it a bit - hope you can catch it and hold it while your partner does the pouring. It will get the runs big time - do not stand behind it if it coughs! I absolutely hate twins - it is very, very common for one of them to do poorly. Bez' [/QUOTE]
