You said you forced colostrum in her,I wonder how you did that? A chilled calf will not even try to suckle,pooring fluid in the mouth often ends up in the lungs wich has the same effect as a bullet,they die. feeding with a stomach tube is a far better option,as long as one again dont feed the tube down in the lungs,it takes a little know how to do that right the first time.Getting them warmed up is first priority,rubbing them vigourously with a towel gets the blood circulating while drying them of at the same time.I often put them in front of the wood stove for a while.A heatlamp is OK to keep them warm but IMO it aint enough to get them warmed up when its very cold(takes to long).
