[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 208404, member: 1744"] Have been watching the heifer calf that has been squirting the loose whitish/yellow plop, well, she has normal energy, runs and plays with the others, pees and plops but doesn't appear to nurse as often as the other claves but is leaving her mark in the pen. Caught her this afternoon (another story by it's self) and did the pinch test on her and she appears to be hydrated and felt normal. My old self says to shove a bolus down her and fill her up with electrolytes...the new self that has been reading up on the problem in the latest edition of my cow/calf management guide says to wait another day for signs of progression. That the new thought is that the anti biotics do no good against a viral infection so let it take it's course. Our vet (the young one) says some loose stool is normal...have another calf born a day earlier now getting loose but is green. They all have been eating hay with their mothers, more each day wonder if we're in the adjustment period. Calves two weeks older have had no problems. One out of a heifer the greenie out of a second calf cow. Don't mean to vent but want to throw it out there for comment...will probably give the electrolytes tomorrow morning anyway. Dave Mc [/QUOTE]
