New born calf quick help

Thanks for all the input. I have help save a lot of livestock over the years with God's help and a little sense. I seen enough to know when there is no more that I can do. Body movements eyes fixed. ect. At that time I guess I go back to my up bringing. My dad was an avid hunter and never like to see any animal suffer and I don't either, but if I think they have a fighting chance I will hang right in there with them. I don't have a medical degree but have been poked and prodded for years by some of the best Doc in Ohio. (You get quite an education that way.) We have had a few calves but not as many as sheep and goats. Till this calf got to me I couldn't asses her. When I got to see the pink fluid which I new was some blood tinged fluid. I didn't think this was normal then as the amount that keep coming and she grew weaker it became clear to me we were going to loose this battle. Short of IV fluid I did everything I new how to do. It is a shame this calf died and I do believe it was due to more of a management issue but can't say that sure. Will take lesson from this and pray it doesn't get repeated again.

Sorry the calf was lost. You did all you could do.

Better ending to bad situation. Got a couple day's old head calf today cow took it immediately. Calf has nursed and belly full calf is sleeping. Cow lying down chewing her cud. He will have to work with the calf a few more time so he gets the hang of plumbing parts but all seem well.

I like that. Somebody gets the benefit of all that milk. Good job. I have tried that in the past, some tricks worked, some did not. I even went to the trouble of skinning a dead calf and tying the skin on a sale barn calf. It worked.
I am glad the cow took your calf.

Thats one of the reasons that I keep my Swiss cow. I've grafted calves on her several times. She will feed about anything that attempts to drink.
My wife calls her "profit margin".
