[QUOTE="UbiCaritas, post: 206277, member: 3787"] I have a pair of twins born on March 10. One was 45 pounds, the other 35. Mother showed little interest in either. I took the little one to the house and have been bottle-feeding her since, while the mother eventually took the other calf. She doesn't have a lot of milk, but should be enough for one small calf. The trouble is, neither twin is growing. At 2 weeks, the little one weighed 36 pounds and she hasn't put on much more since. She's getting milk replacer and calf starter. The other is getting her mother's milk, with mother on extra feed. We've been medicating mama, too, who is not looking very good, and I don't think she ever cleaned properly even after all the meds. I'll post questions about mama elsewhere. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
