Had a person (not important what sex they are) stop in this afternoon with four real sick Holstein bull Calves. This person bought two tubs of Scours Meds. After being nosy about why they were buying so much,and knowing they only have a "pet" cow I got my answers.
Seems they bought 4 calves at the sale barn 2 weeks ago, and were told at 3 days they could/should be weaned.Calves started scouring real bad. Called a Vet and Vet told them not to bottle feed them anything except Scours 2 mix, instead of asking more questions of the Vet, they just kept feeding the Oxytet that is the main ingredient in the Meds. They finally showed up at our store today because the Calves are excreting water and Blood.Tried to sell them Milk replacer and they declined, totally against all the advice I volunteered to them in 20 minutes of conversation.Some people just don't get it. I told them if they dig one hole, be prepared to dig three more.
They are truly the recipients of the 2007 Darwin Award, Bovine Edition. :clap: :clap: :clap:
