[QUOTE="cowpunk'd, post: 208080, member: 1265"] Was the heifer a beef breed or a dairy breed (describe calf and we might be able to figure it out if you're not sure). She was sick when you bought her. Calves with coccidiosis strain because their guts are irritated, not because of constipation. They don't eat because it hurts their guts to eat. They can shed big chunks of gut lining and still survive sometimes. They have to be kept hydrated while the gut heals. I am sorry I think the vet gave you bad advice. Calling the vet should have been the right thing to do! I am curious about the enema with the garden hose, sounds dangerous, has anyone here ever done it/ been advised by a vet to do it? [/QUOTE]
