Be sure to read that electrolytes package. I'm sure that almost all of them say do NOT mix with milk, matter of fact no milk at all while giving electrolytes. And see if it contains sodium bicarbonate. I will have to go back in my notes to see how much to mix in if it's not in there already.
There are a few electrolytes that can be mixed with milk replacer...and anymore, even on the package, it's suggested to NOT stop the milk replacer. Calves can be starved to death feeding electrolytes alone.
Bottom line, the calf is getting toooooo much liquid. Mix the milk replacer as such...more replacer...less liquid...
I've written this a million times...I'm done.
