aint that the truth! (but as long as his name is still "cow", i can sell him, soooooooooooooon.)

I have been as tough on him about it as I can, he has that pushy last thrust on the bottle thing that so T's me off, he bout broke my finger yesterday. Then i have to go in and feed him his regular food after the bottle, and he's still pushy for more milk. thats when he gets the nose under my...

He's all right as rain! He still needs to gain more weight, cause that little go at it was hard on him, but he's happy, very active, and pushin me around. I thought that didn't happen til later, but hopefully he learns the word NO. I took him to a cow bingo event about a half mile from here...

good idea! I forgot, cause there are so many details, that I put pro-bios in it as well, and these ph-balancing capsules in the electrolytes. I have no idea whether they work, but seems as tho his acid/alkaline balance is out of whack. Im also switching from the dumont brand to purina on the...

I've been there for many a poop these last few days, and its pretty much just a plain brown, not a bloody type thing. its workin its way to mud, my husband says theyre pretty firm in the am, and then all day its kind of mud. He's still that way, so today it was 3 anti-scour pills and back to a...

I put some milk replacer in the milk, then more water. 3x. He's chowin on the calf manna and tonight he chased the goats away from their food in the bown he was eating...He was eating goat chow! We gave him a bath, he stayed tied to a post pretty well...didn't mind the water too much, and I...

's ok! I'll do whatever it takes. I'm an artist, so I work at home, so I'm here. I can do this. It was just the whites, and theyre' my chickns, so I know the eggs are ok. I'll try some replacer bit by bit. He goes from solid to loose fast.

o hell, he's poopin that mucousy brown typenow, after the water earlier. Husb said it was pretty solid this am. Am i in for a relapse???

O, and i forgot, he drinks water on his own, thats good.

My steer was born on April 9th, and we got him April 11. We had him on replacer, but somebody insisted after 2 weeks or so that we change to the next up the list food, i'd given him colostrum just in case at the beginning. He had diareah for a day after that, but i figgered on it. So, for...

Thanks guys, he's great. Kolanuraven, thats good advice. I am going out there with another gatorade & stuff in it just in case now. He sure is a nice one of those. I don't even know what to call him. Is it a steer if you banded him right off the bat? I just call it cow. When he's hungry...

This morning he was (impatiently) waiting at my back door for breakfast. I guess its back out with the horses and goats today! YAY!

Well, I will now. Its now 9:30, he is now on a half gallon of milk 2x a day and lots of electrolytes and some pepto bismol in between. Along with the salty electrolyte replacer, he goes apeass over Gatorade. I had to keep tabs on him all day, along with the other animals that own me at the...

Well, he's not totally out of the woods yet, as he still is squirtin, but he was following me around just now butting me for more electrolyte replacement stuff. The vet told me to just give him half gallon of regular whole milk from the store in the morning and at night. I have yet to sleep...

I know its not over....but I stayed up all night, giving him part of a bottle hourly. I had to take the hose to his butt, drag him to new hay, he couldnt stand up to save his life. This ws another pretty picture, as he was parked in front of the gate, 20 feet from his pen. I only dragged him...
