    Calf banding; slipped?

    So. If anyone remembers me and Mater, his scours cleared up nicely and he is all weaned now and gaining weight like a pro. I even shared the trick of heavy whipping cream and yogurt with a friend who used it to save his little Jersey calf, so thank you to whoever shared that. I have no need...

    Calf with hard and runny poop

    Yep, I warm the milk. I mix it up between 110 degrees and 120 degrees, and don't give it to him until it's down to 101 to 105 degrees. Yeah, he's still playing some. Mostly when we let him out now he wants to try to root around in the grass. The yogurt really seems to be helping. Thanks!

    Calf with hard and runny poop

    So it has been about 6 hours since since he ate last. The last time he ate he had a bout a pint. I tried to give him the electrolytes twice now and he won't touch it.

    Calf with hard and runny poop

    So, I know that hard and runny or two words that contradict each other, but there is really no other way to describe his poop. I got this cap yesterday from a dairy farm, and he has had increasingly runny poop, but the last two poops that he is past have been running at the beginning, but then...
