Bottle calf update and questions

[Vwinney]

Thanks for the halter info. Very helpful. One is doing better but I thought the other was lethargic. Heard some raspy breathing and thought pneumonia? I'm amazed at how quickly they can slip after what seemed like minimal symptoms. He got some medicated milk replacer, electrolytes and an old cure-all that my grandfather used, Guinness. After getting this in him he's much better. Hoping to get and keep him healthy. I want to get them cut or banded soon.

Guinness As in beer?

Greetings @Vwinney and welcome to BYH. yup, as in beer. There's some other info of where a beer or two saved a sheep's life when nothing else was working...
