[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1680273, member: 38590"] I recommend making sure he gets at least 4 quarts of liquid into him daily. That can be milk if he'll drink it from the bottle, otherwise electrolytes. Some times calves with a sour stomach will drink electrolytes voluntarily even when they won't take milk. It might take a few feedings for that milk to get through his system and for him to start feeling better. Any time a calf doesn't want to drink I recommend taking a temperature and checking for pneumonia as well. Calves with pneumonia don't always cough and have runny noses, especially early in the disease. [/QUOTE]
