[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 719003, member: 12607"] Bloody stool in that age calf - I'd be thinking coccidiosis or salmonellosis, though BVD-Mucosal Disease is a possibility. Results from a routine fecal examination for coccidia/parasite ovae ought to be available inside of 24 hours - if it's coccidiosis, then you'd need to check with your vet for their recommendations on either adding Corid(amprolium) to the drinking water, or feeding a ration containing a coccidiostat, like Deccox, Bovatec or Rumensin. Bacterial culture/sensitivity results may well take 'til Thursday. Unfortunately, a stool sample is not a useful sample for BVD testing; rotavirus/coronavirus can be detected in feces, but they're unlikely to be the cause of significant disease in that age calf.
