[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1569136, member: 968"] When you give him antibiotics, you kill the "good" bugs in his stomach. I would (and always) give Probias whenever I give any calf an antibiotic. His system is building up good bugs now, again. The pudding consistency should be good. Whenever you have cattle from different farms - no matter how healthy they are - they never should be mingled together at such a stressful time in their life. All cattle are born with antibodies to certain diseases that they get from their mom's colostrum (IF they get their mom's colostrum). Every farm has different diseases that the cow builds up immunities to, so she only passes on immunities she has been exposed to on her own farm. Also, the powdered colostrum may have been Colostrum Supplement not Colostrum Replacement (about a $20 difference) Keep an eye on him. He should be over the hump now. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
