Calf w/bloody scours anything to worry about?

[69zfarmer]

I noticed one of my 2 month old Angus calves has dark brown scours w/what looks like blood in it.It looks a little thin also.What could this be?Would you worry?I had a 6year old brood cow sick with salmonella 3 weeks ago.

Blood stained scours is a symptom of salmonellosis, has the calf got a temperature?

 

[69zfarmer]

do not know, i need to learn how to check.If she has it what will be the next symptom?

Coccidiosis might be the cause. You can treat this by drenching with corid.

Ummm lessee.... blood coming out of the butt of my calf......hummmm... would I worry?......naaa... thats normal for a calf like that if it has salmonella, Ecoli, or ciccidiosis...... don't worry bout it, just go out in a few days to a week and toss it in a hole when you find it dead. No worries. :cboy:

Don't give out too many. There are some things you can't fix.

it might be cocidiosis or something else or it could have ripped a little lining. watch it close to see if it gets better or worse, if it gets worse call vet
