Hey, I hope these get through!! Isn't she just the cutest thing? I have never seen such big eye on a cow. The umbilical infection is gone!! She has pneumonia now:shrug: but we are working on that! Still tube feeding her three times a day, but she seems to be getting stronger. Thank you all so very much for your most excellent advice!
Can you rub the back of her tongue while the nipple is in her mouth? That's worked for me a couple of times. What about putting a small amount of honey (or something sweet) on your fingers to see if she'll suck it? Good luck
Valerie
