A cow can survive if her calf is dead in her womb. But if that calf is not expelled or pulled out soon, she could die as well.
Elephants have a gestation period of around 22 months, which is the longest pregnancy of any mammal. This lengthy period allows for the development of the calf to a point where it is better able to survive after birth.
Kittens may per while in the mother's womb, during the late stages of gestation. In most cases, kittens do not make any noises in the mothers womb.
A stray calf with no identifying symbol is typically referred to as a "maverick." This term is often used in the context of cattle that are unbranded or without any clear ownership markings.
It may be humane to put it down. But there are a vast number of reasons why a calf won't get up, and it's best to talk to your veterinarian or get the calf to a large animal vet to diagnose why it won't stand up on its own.

It depends on the dead calf. If it's a mummified calf, there's a risk of the cow developing metritis or infection of the uterus. Infection differs from the bacterial content in the uterus to whether there are any tears in the uterine wall from the calf's hooves scraping against the wall. Other issues from calving itself (and not necessarily from birthing a dead calf) could include mastitis (no calf to suckle from), paralysis in the hind legs from delivering a very large calf, milk fever, etc. If you can, it's highly recommended that you graft an orphan calf to the cow so that she still remains productive in your herd and doesn't let that milk "go to waste."
depending on when the dolphin conceves, but dolphins are usually born in the summer or spring months like any other mammal. a dolphin carries its calf in the womb for 10-17 months.
If a female Cape Buffalo lost her calf I'm sure that the mama knows that her calf is dead and she will not have any feelings or charge at the predators that killed her baby. But with Elephants, Elephants would stay with their dead comrade and after a while they would continue on. Its sad but yea its life!
they eat roadkill and any other dead thing they can find
No, but it can have hay. Hay can be given to a calf at any age.
A healthy calf should have NO diseases. As a matter of fact, ANY calf should be disease free!
Zynga is stupid, and they don't let any foal or calf grow into what it is the foal or calf of.
No. The salt concentration is way to high for any living animal to survive living in it.
A Dexter calf does not need any treatment[s] if it is healthy.
Absolutely NONE. Do not give any pain meds to a calf if it does not need it.
