[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1798008, member: 38220"] Quote from an article is below. My recollection is 80# calf could need a gallon of they are down far enough oral rehydration won't work. [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]His advice for administering a good electrolyte solution until it is no longer scouring. “Based on the calf’s weight, we consider three things. First is what the calf needs for normal maintenance [how much it would normally drink in a day]. Second is the degree of deficit from dehydration. Third, how much is he continuing to lose via diarrhea. Sometimes people are surprised by the volume needed. If the calf is 5% or more dehydrated, you can estimate the amount of fluid needed by estimating how much the calf weighs. A gallon of water weighs 8 pounds,” Barrington said.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
