Update so far: he is up and romping around a bit. He is still a bit wobbly at times when he walks my guess is that it is due to him just finally coming around out of being nearly starved when we found him at 11 days old. He eats very well and is looking for more. I have a pan down for his calf...

The best one I have seen is of a Herferd named Milkshake

I have a 1 month old bottle calf that eats like a champ, but doesn't act like a normal calf, in that he lays around like he is lethargic. I do get him up to feed him 2x/day and he does walk around a bit, but other wise he just lays around. Is this normal? could he be depressed and want company...
