[QUOTE="Alice, post: 252929, member: 3873"] I'd keep giving that calf electrolytes until he is totally dried up...twice a day, at least. And, keep him in the shade...mist him off with the garden hose and mist attachment. It wouldn't surprise me in the least the heat caused the scours. My calves could scour with the slightest, merest, teeny tiniest change in the weather. Right now I'm not raising bottle babies 'cause of this dreadful heat. Also, give the calf probios. Our soil isn't selenium deficient, but I understand something called Bose is used for that. [b]Ask your vet first.[/b] And remember, calves don't die from scours...they die from the dehydration and electrolyte imbalance caused by the scours. And, sometimes, with all best efforts, they just die. I think you did quite well for someone who hasn't been thru this very often. You even called the Vet...good for you! Alice [/QUOTE]
