[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 684892, member: 3937"] That's a good observation, the bag has gone bad and the calf is getting maybe 1/4 milk supply. I think it would be better to take the calf off the cow. It could likely be getting some bad milk. Those infected udders can have some raunchy stuff in them. I would get it on full milk replacer. 2 quarts 3 times a day after a while, then you could go to twice a day 4 quarts per feeding. A little grain and hay should be supplied, it will start nibbling at 2 weeks or so. A top quality medicated milk replacer would be my choice in this case. The calf was probably shorted on colostrum.
