8 day old bottle calf problems?!?!

[Fdltcwgrl]

I have a bottle calf that is 8 days old and started out pretty slow but in the last couple days has totally dropped off and will not suck at all now.
I gave her some electrolytes via esophagus tube and then have tubed her the last 3 feedings. She has gotten pretty scoury and this morning it was mostly blood and clear stuff.
What should I do?
Thank you!!

Watery Bloody scours? Sounds like Salmonella scours.
Salmonella scours are the worst, very deadly in bottle calves and it can be transmitted to humans.
Wear gloves when handling this calf, disinfect your boots and remember to wash your work clothes promptly so that you don't spread it into your home.
You will probably need to work with your vet on antibiotic therapy.
Nothing comes to my mind as effective as far as antibiotics for salmonella.

Seems you just gotta try and keep them alive long enough to fight it. If they get so weak they can't hold their head up, they'll need IV. Alternate milk and electrolytes until then. As for what drugs, ask your vet.
