Please go see your veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and to determine what--let alone IF--antibiotics need to be administered to a sick calf.

What do you need to own a calf that does not need its mother?

Who told you that a calf doesn't need it's mother? Every calf needs a cow to properly take care of it, no matter if it's their own or a surrogate cow-mom. Ideally you should have a cow already there to adopt that calf. But, if that's not obtainable, you need shelter, milk replacer, feed, water, and a good understanding of how to raise a bum/orphan calf so that it doesn't get sick and die on you.
