[QUOTE="Alice, post: 431488, member: 3873"] The maggots aren't coming from inside of him. Wash his butt off with soapy water and use a pet fly spray on it. Also, if you can't get a vet to make an emergency call (somewhat expensive), then keep the calf hydrated with electrolytes until tomorrow. Feed him his milk replacer, about a half bottle, then an hour later give him a half bottle of electrolytes. Do this thru out the day. Also, keep the calf cooled off. Make sure he's in the shade and mist him down with water. You might try to find some scour halt that works for E Coli. I don't know that E Coli is the problem, but I'd try it anyway. And, you can probably find some coccidiosis drench to give him. Oh, give him a shot of vitamin A,D &E and B complex. Also, if you can find some Bose, give it a shot of that. I know this sounds like a lot, but when a calf gets down this bad, I figure hit it hard with everything. It'll either cure it or kill it, which isn't always a bad thing. Good luck...this kind of stuff is really stressful. Alice :) [/QUOTE]
