Chillin' with the herd
Duh is almost three weeks old now. A little over a week ago he had the scours, but thankfully is doing great now!!!! They told us to work up to 1 quart three times a day then feed as tolerated. We're now giving him 1.5 quarts in the mornin, 1 quart at noon, and 1.5 quarts at supper time. Is this enough? He still looks boney along his back haunches and of course is always sticking out his tongue and wanting to butt me when I go in for anything looking for food. We offer him calf starter, he's not totally interested in it unless I hand feed it to him, which can be a pain in the hiney, but we're trying to get him going so he doesn't look like he came from Ethiopia!
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We're trying to get him to eat the starter right from the dish, but that's going slow and I'm working on it each time I go out so hopefully he's start eating more of that as we go along, it's the amount of milk replacer that I'm unsure of.
