[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1478480, member: 25884"] Sounds to me like coccidia. They will go from enthusiastic, to lethargic, and them sometimes back to enthusiastic. Just MY experiences with mine. That is why I go the corid route and a retired vet friend said not to mess with the mixing and all that, just give 2 cc straight down the throat for 5 days. They will get a "tummy ache" sometimes from coccidia and thrash around like a horse with colic occasionally. A "bloom" of coccidia in the gut can cause them to almost get bloated it seems too. This is just my experience and my thoughts. I wouldn't consider yogurt like manure, scours. I like the calves to be a little bit soft rather than hard. Formed but softer. Coccidiosis will not always show up with blood in the manure so don't let that fool you. Lackluster appetite is the first sign for me. Weak getting up and "wobbling" like they are drunk and even falling down is another sign it has hit them. Since I have had it here at this barn where I have my nurse cows and calves, I treat for it before it can get a foothold. It usually hits them at 1-2 weeks and they always seem to be the calves that were doing great. [/QUOTE]
