[QUOTE="angie1, post: 544159, member: 3886"] For sure the calf should be seperated from others ~ always when sick. Did you take a temp on the calf? I am trying to figure out if the weakeness is due to dehydration or active illness. He should get probiotics for sure. Also ~ what you are giving is support care for scours, which is terribly important, consider including a scour med/bolus. Is important to stop scours. The minject can and should be repeated if you are going to use it ~ I have only ever used in adult animals. Electrolytes should be continued. A vitamin shot should be given. Scour boluses, probiotics and electrolytes are relatively cheap. If you could get a temp on the calf, would be helpful. You say "he won't drink", this is not an option. How are you getting fluids into him? How old is he ~ How big? [/QUOTE]
