    We appreciate all the comments and concerns about Henry's condition. While we know everyone has Henry's best interest at heart, please know that we have now been in touch with our Vet on no less than 10 occasions. We are trying EVERYTHING the vet thinks might help. We are blessed to have 2 very good vets trying to help Henry. We wish there was a quick fix for him or something that was guaranteed to help but that isn't how real farm life works. We, along with our vets, are trying very hard to save Henry. While we appreciate additional suggestions about his health, please just keep in mind how hard we are trying to help him and that there is always a difference between what is seen on a video and what is seen in real life. We have to trust the veterinary medical professionals that are trying to help Henry. God Bless! Kevin & Sarah

      I've seen this type of illness in calves before and like your vet(s) have said it really is just a guessing game as to what it could be. My gut is leaning towards twisted gut. This is a condition that like anything else you have discussed will either work itself out or it won't. I hope y'all will not have to go down the road of putting him down, but if you do have to make that decision I pray that God will bless you both and your nearest and dearest with peace of mind that you did try everything you could. I will also pray that whatever it is that it works itself out. God bless and stay strong.

    @DeepSouthHomestead 3 года назад +145

    After 30 years of raising cattle one thing I've learned is a tube of good probiotics is a must for a sick calf. Sometimes there ruminate is very tricky to get started. The mineral oil is a good thing plus I have used some baking soda also. A twisted gut is a possibility although it's more common in horses. I've been there so be prepared to do what you have to it's never pleasant.

    • @katiesmoozie7183
      @katiesmoozie7183 3 года назад +9

      Yes, especially after a course of antibiotics! Antibiotics kill the good stomach bacteria (most likely the reason for the diarrhea) & the probiotics will replace them - which is needed for things to get back to normal!! Praying for you all to get back to & stay healthy! God bless!

      Yes! I add Diamond v yeast, and have sodium bicarbonate available at all times. Banamine is tough for long term use, too. I’ve rescued many goats by snatching some cud from a healthy goat...I’ve never done that with my cows. I sure hope Henry recovers❤️🙏🏻

      Need to try to get the cat to curl up and lay down with the calf preferably right on his side or belly and purr. Purring frequency and vibration supposedly accelerates healing and mending of broken bones and such or so I've heard. If true may help, certainly shouldn't hurt to try.

Everything that I can learn is so important to me. It is hard to "learn" everything. I believe, from reading the comments, that it is a learning curve. ALL of these people have great ideas, and you have very good Veterinarians. Henry has the best shot he would EVER get! You are such good, loving people! I really mean that. Sometimes it is what it is. And it may be that Henry won't make it. If he doesn't, you KNOW that you have done all that you could. GOD bless

    We are retired from cattle now but boy do I remember those days. I would cry. A calf is so beautiful. And the fewer you have on the farm the harder it is to lose one. Keep the faith...

      He is 11 hours away and doesn’t diagnose or treat animals over the phone. We trust our vets.

    Boy, Henry is one tough 3 mos. old calf. You all have been through a lot and I so appreciate your keeping us in the loop. It sure does make a closer "family". We don't suffer as much as you all, but they are our concerns too. Hope the weather isn't too awful. Prayers for everybody!
