[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1407290, member: 25884"] There are some electrolyte mixes that also will "gel" and slow the passage through the gut so that they aren't squirting it out as fast as you put it in. I will use an "immodium" (for people) before I go to antibiotics , but your calf was definitely stressed by the weather so that is probably a better route. I also use probiotic gel for anything that is stressed to get the gut tract repopulated with good bacteria. Wait for at least 12 hours after the antibiotic or it will be basically wasted. Old tyme recipe: in a qt bottle, use 1 well beat egg and 1 tbsp ALUM powder with the milk or milk replacer. Also, I will make the milk replacer just a little bit thicker than the usual mix. Next feeding do as regular. If you are leaving the calf on the cow, then it can be mixed in the electrolyte solution. Egg is protein, the egg white is a thickener with the alum powder in it. Great when you are too far from town, the roads are bad, or you just want to get something in it quick. Works good on scoury dairy calves. [/QUOTE]
