    Cow with big belly

    Calf Question - Scours Question

    I had a real big slow dumb calf who looked ill, humped up and not moving much. Didn't know if he was just real stupid or ill - wouldn't take a bottle one evening, so gave a shot of Tylan (had been force feeding him and questioned pneumonia). Seems to be doing better and the next evening gave...
