[QUOTE="Alice, post: 294219, member: 3873"] Just from past experience, this is not good. Lammie, determination by tenting sucks, IMO. Look at the calf's eyes...are they bugged out? Does he act weak. If so, tube him the electrolytes. How old do you think the calf is? If he was a few days old when you got him, then the colostrum won't do any good. Also, a lot of times scours can be just water and it'll just look like they peed rather than scoured on the ground. I'm gonna get hammered here, but that's ok, 'cause I'm really afraid this calf is on the cusp of living or dying. So, get some strawberry jello and pour it into the bottle of electrolytes and into the bottle of milk replacer, 'cause as much as electrolytes are important, so is the milk replacer. See if the calf will take the bottle. You might get lucky. And, Lammie, probios the crud outta that calf. Alice [/QUOTE]
