[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 573949, member: 5106"] That is very interesting, I had never heard of that before but can see how it would work. Gatorade will work as well, keep him hydrated the meds aren't going to do anything for the scours they have to run their course. Do you have a vet around that you have a good working relationship with because they will have electrolytes at the clinic, also to you have an esophageal feeder because you will most likely need it. But as Larry said he needs a least a litre of fluids every couple of hours to replenish his fluid loss from the scours, if he is not absorbing the fluids then he needs an IV and if you don't have the materials on hand you will lose him without a vet around. Don't use an egg ,animal protein ....not allowed for ruminants. [/QUOTE]
