Thank you for the replies. Yesterday I observed the calf nursing on 3 occasions including butting her udder. I am currently bottle feeding every 12 hours. Starting tomorrow I will decrease that to once at dusk for a few days. Hopefully we are over the "hump". Bob Smits
Bull calf born 7 days ago and would not suck. Suspect unilateral tongue paralysis which is now improving. Tubed calf for 4 days and was finally able to transition to bottle feeding. We are now at 7 days and appears to be able to suck mom adequately. I am supplementing one quart bottle...
