[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 198796, member: 968"] First, I would check his TEMPERATURE. Being sluggish may be from a fever. Next, I only tube 2 quarts 2X a day of powdered milk replace (the best I can buy). Why is the vet having you feed electrolites???? Calf may be starving. You should only need electrolites if calf is scouring. Is this a cattle vet????? I may be wrong, but it seems to be that they USED to have you take a scouring calf completely off milk and only feed electrolites, but then they discovered the calves were starving, so now they have you feed milk one feeding & electrolites next feeding. I can't remember the last time we ever fed electrolites, so I'm not real sure about that fact. [/QUOTE]
