My premature calf is doing fine. Other than a navel infection I noticed a couple days ago. I've rubbed in iodine. I have some medicated milk replacer with antibiotics. Will this help?

No, the calf needs some good system antibiotics to beat the naval ill - even then it's iffy, depending on how far the infection has progressed. You might want to do a search, milkmaid has a thread or two on here regarding naval ill in her calves, and how she treated it.
