[QUOTE="Alice, post: 525622, member: 3873"] Yes, stress can definitely cause scours, as can a number of other things. Was he "scoured" when you got him? Do you know for a fact that's he a month old? If he is indeed a month old, I would bet he's gonna be ok...especially since he's been with his mother. How wonderful for you that he took to a bottle! Personally, I would vaccinate the calf right now. And keep a close eye on him re: the scours. Also, listen closely when you feed him his bottle...listen for wheezing, or gurgling in his throat, or coughing, or pulling off his bottle, especially if it seems he's doing so to take breath. Wouldn't hurt, just for safety's sake, to get him to drink some electrolytes daily, at least until the runny poop has come to an end. And, give him a squirt of probios daily. Can't hurt, and can only help. Just read what Larry wrote...and I agree 100%. Alice :) [/QUOTE]
