When should I worry about constipation in our calf?

[DOlthaus]

We have a 5 day old Jersey calf that has only had one BM on the 3rd day. He's taking the bottle well and took a water bottle today without a problem. Seems active just hasn't had a BM and I'm new at this so I don't know when I should be worried.

Any thoughts?

Stop the worring, the little one BM every few days. At this point all the do is drink liquids, no need to worry....Please don't over-feed...Congrats.

Constipation in a bottle calf should be something you jump up and down and shout haleluah over! Usually, we're worried about scours with a bottle baby.
