[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 488563, member: 852"] Keep 'em hydrated... I'm told that a calf has to lose ~6% of his body weight in fluids before dehydration becomes apparent, and at 10-12% dehydrated, they start to have kidney failure. A dehydrated animal needs around 3/4 to a gallon of fluids, although not all at once. I took a calf to the clinic the other day and my vet had me put 2000mLs IV in the morning and another 1000mLs a few hours later. I would have called him mildly dehydrated, but apparently there's a lot I have yet to learn! :P Are the calves' scours bloody, or just watery? I haven't tried Albon before for scours. My personal favorite at the moment is a combination of oxytet200 IM and SMZs (sulfas) orally. [/QUOTE]
