[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 874228, member: 5601"] Re: That is where I’m having a problem. When I have a calf that shows defiant signs of dehydration I want to flush him. And as fast as I can. And often do it from both ends. Not so much to remove/treat the cause of the scours but to get and keep fluid in the large intestines, as that is where fluids are absorbed. Which is why I use sugar water ( all he will drink ) in the front end and warn water in the back end for 24 hrs with calf scour bolus antibiotic. That is my flush. After that I can see how a gel would/could be helpful. I guess I am saying I treat the dehydration first then the cause of the dehydration. Although when I do my flush, I am actually treating the cause somewhat by giving calf scour bolus antibiotic and flushing at least some of the cause out. If that makes sense? SL . [/QUOTE]
