Will not and never has taken a bottle nipple; It is just scared and does not realize what the bottle is. Have had a few like this from time to time. Stand with its neck between your legs. Squeeze the neck between legs to protect yourself. HA HA.. With one hand hold it under the jaw and stick your finger in its mouth to open. Put the bottle in mouth and squeeze lightly to push out some milk. Make sure some is coming out. If the flow is slow cut the hole a little bigger. Every nipple I have ever gotten has needed enlarging. Let it catch its breath and squeeze again. If you can get a half a bottle down like this and it is still not sucking stop and come back in morning. It should be hungry by then and accept the bottle better.
If not use step two. Calf will take some milk but will not drink all. Has taken a bottle before but has stopped.

My wife would give it pedialyte and has gotten a calf to take this after I have all but given up. I like this other mix better because it is sweet a the calf will eat for that reason.
20 level teaspoons of Karo (white corn syrup) DO NOT USE TABLE SUGAR AT ALL FOR NO REASON !!!!!!!!! They can not digest sucrose !!!!!!!!!
4 teas. table salt
3 teas. baking soda
1 gal warm water While I have had trouble getting a calf to take a bottle before one of the three methods has all ways worked for me.

The engine on this tractor, a 1937 John Deere "B", had been stuck for 2 years before he gave it to me. This last spring (1999) I hauled the tractor to our 2 acre lot in St. Libory Nebraska where it joined my antique machinery collection, at that time a 1929 Caterpillar T
