[QUOTE="larryshoat, post: 480220, member: 6773"] I've read all the posts so far and I think I would try everything that has been mentioned so far.1. give a shot of Mu-Se or Bo-Se. There are selenium yeast products that can be mixed in the milk and are better than Mu-Se or Bo-Se, plus no Rx.2. check amount of milk being fed. Recommendations on bags are for a 100 lb calf. 3. I will tube a calf for a couple of times, then I use a nipple with the end cut off and make her swallow the milk, add a little oatmeal in the milk.4. inspect the inside of her mouth and gums for sores or redness, use Listerine on these.5. the seizures have me stumped, I've never seen a calf do that 30 minutes after it's been fed, so I think we have to go with hillsdown on this and treat with Naxel, Exenel, or Exede and add penicillin. 5. I get criticized on here (along with a lot of other stuff) for recommending dexamethasone. All medicines are a poison and we have to ask ourselves do the benefits out weigh the side effects? When I need immediate releif for a calf that is in serious trouble, I reach for the dex. In less serious cases banamiine is the choice. JMO In this case I would give dexamethasone 2/100 orally. 6. She needs additional fluids for the scours. Larry [/QUOTE]
