Often times recovery from founder is possible. Need to get him back on feed. Put him on a high fiber diet of highly palitable hay, maybe suppliment with some soy hulls or seed cotton seed. There are some good pelleted feeds which are high in fiber. Probably need to feed a probiotic to get his rumen function back up to snuff. I'd look long and hard at the ration if you plan on using a creep feeder. Too many people want to pump shelled corn, soybean meal, and molasses in a creep feeder and not buffer it (I used 10% sodium bicarbonate and 10% feed grade ground limestone, when I was feeding this to milk cows). I've never had one founder in 19 years of feeding and used a creep feeder up until 4 years ago. Ear corn and distillers dried grain makes a good mix, soybean hulls straight did well, shelled corn with ground alfalfa hay have all worked well for me.
