Weak calf

[Frustrated]

Have a 3 week old calf. It has been a fight. The calf will not nurse. And rarely will suck on a bottle. Have had to tube her. It did suck on a bottle for 4 feedings a week ago. Now just plays with the bottle nipple. And does a half doze sucks and then stops. The calf is week. It can stand but most often lays. The calf has no temperature. Gave it a shot of LA200 just in case. Also gave it a shot of Multi-min and vitamine B. Even fed it electrolytes even though it is not scouring. Anyone have any helpful suggestions?

Sometimes calves can be determined to die and it's hard to figure out what their problem is. One thing I like to have on hand is fastrack. Anytime one needs doctored I give them one. Really gets them going and helps their energy and appetite. https://fastrackprobiotic.com/fastrack-calf-bolus/

Thank you for your response. I have given her a couple doses of "Probios". Same thing?

I'm going to say no. I've never got the response from Probios as I do with Fastrack.

Ralgro for weak calves? I never heard of that. Usually you give Ralgro after calves have a little age on them. I can agree with the Bos-E.

Maybe Minnesota calves are different. Some people sure have different ideas……..
