I have an issue I have never run into before with a calf. He won't suck. He won't suck fingers, he won't suck a bottle, he won't suck his mother. We are tubing him to keep him going. What do you suggest to fix this problem?
He was born Saturday night and I have never had a baby with less of a will to live. He just lays around like a lump on a log for 12 hours until we tube him again.
Someone on xxxxxxx suggested I try this forum. Thanks in advance for any help.
