Calf Question

This is a new one to me. We had to pull a calf from its mom (he is a twin) was starting to act very weak. Brought him hom...made his bottle....he drank his bottle on the first try...then when he was done he took one step forward and PASSED OUT cold. Took him about a minute to come back around and he seemed fine after that and seems fine right now, I am going to give him his morning bottle in about and hour. I have raised lots of calves and have never had this happen. What could cause this? Thanks for any advice.

I've got no clue, but maybe some of the bottle baby experts on this board will know!

Could of been stressed out and running on adrenalin and when levels dropped he did the same. Just keep an eye on him and if anything happens seek help.If he is a twin you may have to raise him mom might not take him back.
