[QUOTE="mathersb&t, post: 512729, member: 8000"] Just came from the Vet. not more than a hour ago and he gave me baytril says it is the best thing for a naval infection also you have to watch if you have been giving all sorts of medicines to this calf. Because it has stripped all the good gut bugs as well as the bad ones. you need to try to restore some of the good bacteria it has lost. I currently have 3 calfs down not sure if it is naval infection or lack of selenium. Best thing to do as the vet has told me get its temp. that will tell alot.... You need to get the electrolyte mix and take it off of all milk products for two days but give it the electrolyte mix for twice daily for 2 days then the next half milk and mix for day 3 and 4. this has helped mine when they were weak... We have also found that the minerals we have been given our mothers was lacking selenium which we think is the start of our problems. I also just bought liquid selenium(bose) from the vet. Good Luck.... [/QUOTE]
