[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 381779, member: 852"] Nuflor is hard on a calf's gut too. It kills the intestinal flora, which can be fixed by probiotics, BUT, there isn't an awful lot of good in giving probiotics at each feeding when there's a theraputic level of antibiotics in his system. The good bacteria get killed just as soon as they start doing any good. Fourstates - why are you afraid to give the antibiotics? most of the time, electrolytes and fluids alone are not enough to stop scours, especially not in a severe case. I still think there must be something more going on than just scours though. Fresh blood is not a good sign. [/QUOTE]
