Nuflor will not provide any action on viral diarrhea. If bacterial, it is probably a step up from LA 300 but lots of scours/diarrhea is due to virus.

Nuflor is an effective antibiotic. It is not an antiviral. If the condition you describe is viral, nuflor will provide no efficacy.
The following is information from the Merck Animal Health website:
Florfenicol (nuflor, is the trade name) is a novel, broad-spectrum antibiotic discovered and developed by Merck Animal Health. It is approved for veterinary use in treating BRD and foot rot.
Florfenicol is distinctly different from other antibacterials used in animal health. It is chemically similar to chloramphenicol but has no human safety risks.
The important point: its an antibacterial, not an antiviral.

farmerjan":2bb5a7rg said:I agree with having the vet do a fecal, but if that is not an easy alternative, I also prefer to use some type of bolus like sustain so that it goes directly to the gut tract. I have often found that if I see blood then I am usually dealing with coccidiosis and a couple of doses of corid will do the trick. Again, it goes directly to the gut tract. If it is viral, I don't know of any way to really treat it except for supportive with electrolytes and all to keep it from getting weak. I think that there has been some use of anti-biotics, but don't know if they only help to prevent a secondary bacterial infection. There is a vaccination that can be given to a cow pre-calving for the rota and corona viruses, and I believe there is something you can give to day old calves also. I usually have the coccidia and occasionally an e-coli to deal with.

Whatever you say "BUD", how many years have you been practicing medicine?
This is the exact reason we have so many lurkers and not many new members giving advice based on their experience. There is always a know-it-all to bash their thoughts.
