[QUOTE="angie1, post: 680128, member: 3886"] I hesitate to suggest you go against the advice of your vet, but against the advice of your vet I would strongly recommend that you continue the electrolytes. Also ~ antibiotics kill good bacteria as well as bad bacteria. Your calf should be given probiotics (ideally in a paste form) for as long as it is on antibiotics and/or scouring. I would also consider pulling the calf from the cow if you are certain she is not feeding it. He may have picked up some now, but he will go back down without ~ and this way you will know what he is eating and what he is not. That being said, did your vet say why the calf was scouring? It is much better/effective to treat when you know what you are treating for. I am guessing the rectum protuding is a result of the scours. You are doing really well though! Good for you for getting it to the vet and taking such good care! Just know that sometimes no matter how hard we try, they still die. [/QUOTE]
