How is your calf doing?
If she wasn't a bottle calf before it's hard to turn a 2 month old calf into a bottle calf. As others said I am always leery of buying any calf from an auction especially at that age. Most sellers around here that don't want a calf will sell at 4 days old or 6 months old. This age would lead me to believe either something was wrong with the calf or it was pulled from its dam.
The runny poop and the cough could be a bunch of things but I would definitely give a nasal spray for pneumonia if you haven't already. Was the calf standing when you fed it? It could have got some milk in its lungs.
Like others have said this calf needs to see a vet. Hopefully the calf made a turn for the better. They are so incredibly vulnerable at this age.
