[QUOTE="Tabby, post: 488559, member: 7672"] Hi, I just joined the boards and I need help terribly. Our neighbor bought 11 holstein bull calves Monday at the sale barn. They have been in our barn and so far we have lost 7. Went to the vet and got Nuflor and Albon for bloody scours and still lost over half. Of the remaining 4, 3 are eating milk replacer good. We were giving them 2 pints because they wouldn't take 4 pints, but we just knocked it up to 4 pints at this morning's feeding and they drank it just fine. The 4th one refuses to suck a bottle, so I have been tube feeding him. Been able to get 2-3 pints in him. They all have runny, like water scours. I started giving them terramycin this morning to treat the scours and they are eating good. I am just afraid that they are losing their food as soon as they get it and I don't want them to take a turn for the worst. I raised calves when I was younger and NEVER had this much trouble nor lost so many. What can I give them that is very effective on treating the scours? If we buy calves at the salebarn again ( thats a BIG "if") what do I need to have in preventative medicine to keep this from happening again? I appreciate any advice, this is way past my knowledge. Tabby ***The last calf is doing good. We gave the calf polyserum from the vet and have been doing smaller more frequent feedings and he is doing so much better. Thank you all for the great advice and help! [/QUOTE]
