Okay,
I have a calf that is out of a first time heifer that scoured at about three weeks old. It was gray then yellow then white. I gave him a two day bolis of oxytetracycline in pill form. He was fine. Now he is 2 1/2 months old and has these scours again along with a pasture mate who isn't as bad. I treated him the first day with a pill bolis oxytetracycline and then again the next day with injectable oxytetracylcline (LA200) bolis . He stands with the herd and acts a little off but not severe he however stills has no signs of getting better. This morning he also looked like his rectum is very raw almost bleeding. Today I thought i might need to buy different meds and just can't seems to find anything that tells me if I need a suffate drug or just need to keep giving La200. I am going to round up him, his momma ,pasture buddy and his mamma so I can quarintine them and give meds for longer period of time. I should also mention that I gave vaccs a month ago because I had new animals coming into the herd and want to make sure the calves were covered and then again at the due date this week just as the calves started scouring. I gave Traingle 9 type II BVD, UltraChoice 8, and Ivomec Plus injectable.
So can someone tell me what causes the white/gray scours and if I need to give penicillin, La200, SMZ,or something else? Is the flora off?
