[QUOTE="Aspiring Peasants, post: 9234666, member: 198"] Had one that sounds similar a while ago. Spoke to vet, they said. Calves that experience a difficult or prolonged birth (typically large calves requiring assisted calving) can also end up with acidosis if the umbilical cord is compressed or ruptured prematurely, resulting in inadequate oxygenation. This explains why it is often “big, dopey calves” that will not suck – their size predisposes them to having a difficult birth, and they are “dopey” as an effect of the acidosis. Speak to your vet, I think ours was given sodium bicarbonate and it came round. I think it might have been given intravenously [/QUOTE]
