@babsbag I think in my heart I knew but I just tried to hold out hope because miracles do happen, but at least now he's not in pain. After we did that things got kinda crazy around here. I had family show up for the fourth then my niece popped in for a week, now my sister is in town for a few...

Well sadly he didn't make it. Not sure what happened but he went down Friday again so we took him to my vet this morning and he said by looking at his eyes and muscle movements the disease had affected his nervous system, and at this point there would be no getting him on his feet or fixing the...

@minihorses. I never thought about a sheet. I've been wracking my brain on what to use. I'll tell the husband we need to try that. @Devonviolet. He's made a big improvement. When I brought him home poor guy couldn't move his legs and since he got this shots he's still trying to sit up and...

Minihorses. There's also a slight possibility I'm a bit on the paranoia side of things. Just like when my children are sick I always think if the absolute worst and start panicking. Little Tip is still eating well. Using the bathroom, attempting to get up on his own. I think I misread his body...

Oh no. We were going to try the harness anyway. That was already planned. I was just sharing how it went. He did actually stand for a few seconds on his own today. We had to stand him up for his daily exercise and my husband let go and he kept standing for a few seconds. So I completely agree...

Devonviolet, thank you for asking. I don't know what to think about all this. After the vet gave him the medicine, the next day he actually sat up by himself, which was pretty exciting. Now today he's still sitting himself up and he's trying so hard to stand but he can't quite seem to get his...

So I need your opinions again. Tip (calf) is trying to stand. I'm guessing we got the meds in time and they are helping as he's moving quite a bit more now and he actually "cried" out this morning. But, he can't seem to control his neck. I was wondering if maybe a neck brace may help him to gain...

So I went and got some pain medicine from the vet today. For the first time since we brought this little fella home, he actually sat up by himself. No help. We weren't even around, I was around the side of the house. He was laying on his side like he usually does and he sat up.

On a side note though. After I got him home, I put him in the shade by my window so I could keep an eye on him and he's actually moving his legs on his own. That's not something he was doing before. And when I stood him up to feed him earlier we almost both went down because he moved his front...

I don't believe she is. I wouldn't swear to what all she ran. She checked his white cell count and his glucose and some other things.

That's the plan. If he's not up by Friday we don't feel like he's going to get up at all at this point.

Thank you. I hope so too. He is strong-willed and he wants to get up so bad he just needs a little boost.

Update: got the calf to the vet. He has sepsis. His white blood cell count was high and she said that means his body is fighting the infection. She said there's a possibility he can come out of it. He has no pnuemonia, no scours, no fever. She gave him injectable colostrum, batril and Dex for...

We have some goldfish too. We built a koi pond but it's hard to find koi around here so we out goldfish in it for the time being.

I have used him. We only have two (close by) that handle large breed animals and he's the better of the two. I spoke to my Dil (she was the one going in with her dog that day) and it turns out there was a miscommunication of some sort. So I'm wondering if he even knew she was coming in because...

I'm 2.5 hours from Dallas.

How can I tell if he's partially blind? He doesnt blink a lot but he does respond when I go out to the shed and check on him. But I don't know if he sees me or just hear me. I've never seen or know anyone with a calf with seeing issues. As far as taking him out, I bring him out daily for fresh...

My nephew said thats what his vet told him. Now, with that said, I don't know if they actually had the vet look at him or they called or how all that went down. They did give him some nuflor. Two shots that I know of. And he was walking (not sure if I mentioned this) but after they moved him to...
