[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14868"] Hi, yes I am indeed a large animal veterinarian. I doubt that penicillin would be appropriate for the diarrhea, but there could be a navel infection which could respond to it. Re: feeding solids... it's ok to start introducing sweet feed to cattle at this age, but don't depend on them to be able to digest enough to survive--the rumen isn't fully functional until about 12 weeks. Re: neomycin...I don't particularly have anything against it, or biosol in specific, but I've rarely had it work for my clients. I prefer other antibiotics due to efficacy. About yogurt, if an all natural one with live culture, it won't likely hurt but may not help. It all depends on WHY we're scouring. If from gut overgrowth of harmful non toxic bacteria, it'll help. If not, it won't hurt but won't help. Good Luck! V [/QUOTE]
