The calf that was on IV's then turned back out with her mother Tuesday, took a turn for the worse Thursday. We ended up tube feeding her that night.
She was too weak to stand Friday morning. So she made another trip to the barn for 3 liters of IV fluids. She also got an antibiotic injection and some steroids.
The next morning she was much better.
We turned her loose but there some confusion about the truck being her mother.
She eventually figured it out. I hope this straightens her out and there isn't a round 3.

Poor little one! hope it can thrive now.
Ditto to Shirley's comment.
I so admire you getting the IVs in on their ears. I find them so tricky!
Thanks, the IV is in the jugular, I suture the catheter in on the neck then loop the line to the top of the head and suture it in there. That way, if that way any pressure on the line is taken by the suture on the head, hopefully saving the catheter.
