[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1621254, member: 38590"] Dexamethasone is an immune suppressant. I don't recommend giving it to calves unless you have a good reason, especially if they're more than a day old. If the calf is painful from a difficult birth, there are safer drugs to give. A calf's abomasum is supposed to be an acidic environment. It prevents bacterial growth and helps with digestion. Adding baking soda to milk interferes with that natural process. That's one of the reasons most good electrolyte formulas with a pH buffer don't recommend feeding them with milk. [/QUOTE]
