Hi,
I have a bull calf who at 18 days old was starting to pass blood in his stool. The vet I spoke to thought it was probably coccidiosis. I pre-treated the 4 cows (his mamma included) I have with Corid about 2 weeks before he was born so I wouldn't have this problem. He seems otherwise healthy. Nurses and is very energetic. The vet told me to watch for scours and treat him if that started. That brings me to my question. The blood seemed to stop on day 23 and his manure was brownish green. They are loose but not completely liquid. They seem to be mostly small 50 cent size piles here and there and he is straining now and then without much coming out. In the a.m I usually find 1 or 2 about the size of my palm. This morning I saw another small bit with some blood in it. This would be day 26.
What do I need to do? Drench with Corid or is it too late? Probios? If so how long do I treat with that? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
