[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 40329"] First off, NEVER give sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) with milk. It creates scours, since it stops the milk from clotting properly. It's fine to use if there is no milk 4 hours before or after giving... Secondly, why do you guys never have electrolytes on hand? For pete's sake, they're cheap, easily accessible and vital when needed!! I'd recommend for anyone with calves to have a bit on hand...or a good recipe to create your own!! Thirdly, check the navel and anus etc. for fly larvae--yup, I mean maggots. They're fairly common, and just about the only thing guaranteed to make me heave. Fourth, or maybe this should be first...call your vet! We give IV fluids and actually treat animals... Good Luck! V [/QUOTE]
