[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 541167, member: 6897"] Rod I agree with you on most of what you posted other than stating use of probiotics is a waste of money. It certainly can be but not always. Personally I like penicillin but still don't use a lot of it. When I do I give them a real heavy load of it tho. People and animals do build up immunities to certain drugs. One reason it has always been so hard to get an MD to give you a shot of penn...Agree with you also on the electrolytes. Keep the calf hydrated, administer electrolytes and leave it alone. Last thing it really needs right now is more strong antibiotics. A cleaner environment might have prevented some of the problems to begin with. I'd really have to have seen the calf to begin with but question whether or not it ever needed them. This calf may turn out to be an expensive educational project on "how to raise baby calves".
