We ended having a female Hereford having a calf a little over 3 weeks ago, today would be the start of week 4. The mother didnt want the calf. From the beginning the calf had trouble getting up, but would walk (if we got it up, it would walk). For the 1st and 2 week we would help her up, but on the 3rd week on she started having trouble and from Wednesday on she started not to stand up in general. She can hold her weight on the front legs but not the back. She went from putting weight on one leg rear leg sometimes to nothing. Shes eating alright, but she shivers when done eating and in between sometimes (the morning wasnt too bad). We have the powered medicine milk from tsc and she goes through 5 to 6 pints a day (went from 2 cups of powder to 3) twice a day (5 am and 4 pm). Her crap is a good color and her pee is clear. It seem like it takes her a bit of effort to get up. Anyone have this issue before?
