[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 488564, member: 6198"] take a calf or two to the vet. Fecal samples. there are more than just "scours" Many 'brands' of scours and some are viral and have to run their course, treat so a secondary infection like pnemonia does not set in some are bacterial, they might require somthing stronger than nuflor. i like trivetrin/trimidox/borgal (same just different brand) injections and calfspan oral boluses together. both are sulfa based Alot of electrolyes and milk. Sometimes in bad cases we mix the milk and electrolytes together. Some brands can not be mixed. Go to pfizer.com and search out scours and get the low down on the type, the symptoms of the type of scours. Some are white some are yellow some have blood, one is caused by a parrasite from over eating milk after not having milk for an extendid period of time...kind of fatal. there are several posts on scours here, do a search. Dun has posted, alice, milkmaid, me, lots on here Clean and disinfect the barn No new arrivals until you get this cleaned up buying calves is a crap shoot Buying from a farmer who insures the calf gets the adequate amount of colostrum is better than a sale barn calf that has been put through the ringer and you have no idea if it was fed the colostrum in a timely manner [/QUOTE]
