I have a calf that is about three weeks of age, she was a little premature,she seemed to have fluid in her lungs we gave her an antibotic shot. She couldn't walk at first she drug her back legs at first but, can walk and run and play now. We gave her the first milk, and I am bottle feeding her. But, now she chews like she has something in her mouth when she doesn't and I have to make her nurse. What should I do and what is going on?

12 days ago I banded 2 350# bull calves and I use the small bander. I know I shouldn't have used the small bander and I did get both testicles but after 5 days the scrotum on both animals was swollen to twice the normal size. I guess that is due to the band not being strong enough to completely cut off blood flow. Anyway, what should I do now?
