Hello Josh. Ya the first thing I thought was bloat. He has an appetite it looks like. We'll pray that things work out, and he gets over this. We had another high wind day. Still fires in NW Iowa. The high today was 48. Burr. Thanks for sharing
@rogueskinnear3239 well, I think it was the fact that he had too much access to hay before his rumen was fully developed. So, in other words, it was probably my fault by giving a bottle calf free access to hay. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I've gathered through this ordeal. 🤔

Thanks. Yeah it's a little concerning. Your prayers are much appreciated.
48° for a high?......wow that seems a little chilly for a high.....burrr
Hoping to get this situation straightened out before too long 👍
Did he improve?
He did improve. However, I would note that it took quite a long time. And every once in a while I'll notice it a little bit, but not much.
Looking back, do you think it was it low quality hay that pushed him over?

Their rumens develop slightly faster if you creep feed them grain. I’m sure you know. But just passing info on to the viewers.
@jasonbyu75 I didn't know that before this happened but have found that to be true now. Thanks for sharing, great tip
