Had a 90# bull calf at noon today, wasn't a long labor but was a very difficult pull, calf presented with head bent back and upside down. Our first concern was lungs sounded wet but that cleared after some vigorous rubbing and a couple coughs. Have given dexamethasone and penicillin as a precaution. After an hour he wasn't up so we brought him in the house and tubed colostrum. Now he looks good but still won't stand alone, is pretty wobbly when we stand him up. Any suggestions to help him along?
