[QUOTE="lkcows, post: 207784, member: 3281"] With the symptoms you listed, it sounds to me like the calf may have had severe scours rather than being constipated. The most important thing to do with a calf with scours is keep them hydrated-get electrolytes down them. The baby calves I get (Holsteins bull calves) get electrolytes as soon as they get in the barn door. I'm not a big fan of salebarns for buying calves, mainly because you don't know what problems they might have. I would suggest going directly to a cattle producer in your area to buy calves, most likely you will get a healthier calf. [/QUOTE]
