[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1625325, member: 38590"] Calf manure shouldn't be solid until they're eating a large amount of grain. If it's thin like water, he's got diarrhea. If it makes a loose pat on the ground, it's normal. If it stays in a tightly formed log, he's not getting enough to eat and drink. Most diarrhea will resolve in 3-7 days. The back end weakness will improve as he eats and gets stronger. Young calves don't have a lot of stored energy, so when they're really sick and not drinking milk the body has to burn muscle tissue for energy. [/QUOTE]
