[QUOTE="FarmerStu79, post: 4406786, member: 20970"] So, initially she rallied and was much happier with her Tuesday and Wednesday. This morning I went into her and she was absolutely laid out. Tried to stand her up and she just flopped over. Took her temperature and it was 34 degrees celcius so immediately got a blanket over her and a heat lamp installed and rang the vet. Literally about 5 minutes after I've done this she starts sitting up and trying to stand up! The thing is, the shed isn't cold, it's well ventilated but not cold. She was laid out in a warm corner when I found her, honestly can't understand how she's got so cold. I'm worried that it's something underlying now, we've had all this bother with her and at best she's still been steady. Vet arrives, puts calf on a drip and injects various other things into the pipe. Advises to feed electrolyte solution and then get the calf to suck it's mother as soon as she can stand. Once the calf had all of the drip we got her straight up an she sucked with gusto which was amazing to see as we thought she was 3 parts dead this morning. Her temp is now up to 37.5, she's still under the heat lamp but last time we went in she wasn't interested in sucking. She's puffing and blowing still and the vet said that her lungs didn't sound fantastic but not terrible either. Going to go out shortly to try and get her to suck again. Honestly don't know what to do or what I'm going to wake up to tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
