[QUOTE="76 Bar, post: 1566538, member: 18664"] Obviously you're working in concert with your vet and dedicated to resolving the diarrhea issue. :tiphat: Not surprised 3 of the 4 are out of 1st calf heifers e.g. in the best of circumstances their colostrum quality & quantity isn't on par with a cow. Subsequently when health challenged their calves are the first to fall prey to environmental, mgt and herd health issues. There are lots of probiotic products on the market. I keep the small tubes of the Probios product on hand for calves. It comes in much larger doses. In a pinch I've used a generous dose of plain full fat yogurt. Draw it off in a 20 cc wide tipped catheter style syringe. Squirt it down the hatch in slow increments. Be prepared to wear some yoghurt. :) Please keep us posted about the progress of your calves and especially, the results from Cornell. [/QUOTE]
