The only thing i'd add to that is that Terrible Farmers think they know it all and never ask for information and don't try to fix a problem. Sorry, Fairlight, you don't qualify as a terrible farmer. You asked and tried.

We just started this past month with 8 calves... we have lost 2 already. My husband is an experienced cattleman, and takes it hard to lose an animal. The 2nd calf went down this morning...we tried B12 and Penicilin, but it was too late, and we didn't get a reply back from the forum quick enough to know to give it Drexill. I can understand your feelings of helplessness. Our vet is only 9 miles away, and Hubby has years of experience, but that didn't save our calves. Sometimes animals just die. Take encouragement that your remaining animals are well. I know we will be watching our other bottle calves much more closely. Good Luck.
