By this time the rabbits have opened their eyes. Introduce them to Oat hay, pellets and water in a shallow dish.

Getting the calf to stand and drying her off can increase her metabolism as much as four times the resting level.Do that even as you feed her

If the calf is unable to stand, try to get her up on her chest prior to inserting the esophageal tube. It is good that you have fed it already. Tube feeding in this upright position is much less likely to spill colostrum into the windpipe (trachea) than with the calf lying on her side.

Sorry about this.Calves that won’t nurse right after birth are often the result of difficult calvings. Because these animals have been stressed, they must have good immune transfer. Additional management steps are recommended to improve calf health.
Dont worry will make some consultation for you.

I’m going to stomach tube it again now just so it has…Read more
