This year has been a tough one for us regarding bacterial scours. There are 4 calves who got scours at a young age. They were lethargic and weak. The vet treated them, and tested the stool and it came back that it was not viral but bacterial. After treating those four calves they seemed to improve. They were treated with sulfa pills and Baytrill as well as Banamine. That was 2 weeks ago. Now these 4 still have very runny poop, they are nipping in the feed trough with their moms, so i'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. 3 of the 4 are having pretty good growth rates and all are energetic running around, bouncing, and nursing. They just have very runny stool. It is a light brown color. Is this something that I should treat for again or is this something that happens. They are all about 6 weeks old now.
