[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 314055, member: 852"] Watery diarheaa is one of my least favorite problems to deal with -- no matter what the initial cause is. It means the animal's rumen is NOT working, means the animal is NOT absorbing what it is eating, causes the animal's pH to become acidic (acidosis), causes dehydration, results in a weakened animal, weight loss, and weakened immune system, eventually results in the rumen entirely shutting down, and will kill the animal if it continues long enough. Sometimes it takes several weeks before they become downers or die, but it will happen. For your information, for an animal to go from "bloody manure" to "watery diarheaa", that IS getting worse. There's a million things that can make a cow have such watery diarheaa, but it is vital that it be stopped [u][i]as soon as possible.[/i][/u] "Benign neglect" works for some livestock problems, but if you truly believe in treating diarheaa this way, you need your head examined. Of course, I can give you the benefit of the doubt -- you sound about 14 so perhaps it's only your family's viewpoint and not yours. [/QUOTE]
