Another scour post

[Tbrake]

I have 5 or 6 calves a little shy of #200 that have the scours. One of them is worse than the others. It is bloody, and almost like water. It's ears are still up, and acts pretty much normal. I gave it 2 tera. Pills last night, and going to give it 2 more here in a little. I called my bet and she said not to worry about it as long as it was sucking and acting pretty normal? I have always heard that bloody scours needs some attention, but im no expert. The other calves just have wet butts and tails, a few of them have the white, grayish runs aswell. All of them are acting fine right now as far as I can tell. What do I need to do? I have always heard dehydration is the biggest problem? Thank you guys!

Sounds like Coccidiosis. Need to start a Corid treatment ASAP if it is. Stool sample to vet can tell you.

That's not what i wanted to hear. How do you treat one that small for it? They are not eating feed yet

This is some info. Since I've not had to mess with it, I'll let someone else give you some experienced information.
