[QUOTE="Jdunn55, post: 8079167, member: 81760"] She's alive! I can't quite believe it, genuinely thought she would be dead, but she's running around this morning and drinking Shanty Town got taken down because I couldn't keep them dry (was using sh!t loads of straw to no avail) Emptied out my straw shed and took that to dad's and set this up I don't know if it's better or not but the vets didn't like shanty Town, or the old building and they probably won't like this for some reason, they want me to spend £1000 on calf jackets for every calf Calves now get tubed with 4litres of colostrum ASAP after birth following advice on here. My vets do not like this and say its too much in one go They then receive dams milk for atleast 4 days (did this 9n the back of advice from people on here and my vets - still worried about johnes personally) Calves get fed everyday at 9am and 9pm. 3.6 litres of milk per calf (3 litres warm water and 600g of powder) Ad lib access to calf pellets, straw and water from birth Halocure for 10 days Weaned at 100kg and eating 1kg minimum of concentrates If something doesn't drink they straight away get tubednwith 2 litres of water + electrolytes and meloxidyl along with a bolus (don't know I'd they work but it makes me feel better) I will then tube them 3 x per day until drinking again or they are dead Vet said not to tube with milk as if it enters the rumen (groove won't be open) it will ferment and cause acidosis which if they're already ill this = bad. They also said the electrolytes should provide them with enough energy I take all their temperatures daily atm to keep an eye on them I do weekly dung samples I've sent bloods off Everything is negative except crypto, That includes, rota, corona, ecoli, salmonella, cocci etc I've held off doing a postmortem purely because I spent £1000 on one last year and got no further other than it might be this, that or the next thing, and the reccomendation I had from the lab was to vaccinate with about 4000 vaccines which was going to cost £44 per calf if I remember correctly But I can do one just not sure how I'm going to pay for it 🤣 [/QUOTE]
