[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1797576, member: 498"] Had two calves with issues yesterday. One near dead from scours. The other was 24 hours old and from all appearances hadn't sucked. We got them both and hauled them to the barn. The scour calf got a bottle of electrolytes tubed down him, a gallon of distilled water with 20 cc of baking soda IV'ed into him, an other shot of electrolytes tubed in the evening. More electrolytes this morning and back out to Mom. He is doing great. The other calf was failing fast. And died maybe 36 hours after being born. We decided that he got his guts stepped on by a cow in the feed row. We had brought that cow in yesterday. There was one set of twins out there in the pasture. So after church we caught one of the twins. Skinned the dead calf and the twin got a new coat. About an hour ago the calf was sucking on that cow. I am calling it a victory. All is well that ends well, but it ain't always easy. [/QUOTE]
