[QUOTE="Hereford2, post: 1651869, member: 25296"] Hi, I have 5 bottle calves and they all got sick , scours , respiratory, by 5 to 7 days of age, then I gave them the medicine my vet prescribed, and they all got well, they are 11 to 19 days of age now, and 1 only has gotten sick once, 3 have gotten sick twice, and 1 recovered, the other one just got sick again today, the other one is scouring. And last but not least. The calf that is sick for the 4th time in 2 weeks. It gets scours, I treat it per my vets instructions, and it's poop firms up, it's ears quit drooping, . Now today I go to feed him and his poop is pure liquid...
