[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 532411, member: 5106"] Yes to all but: I think your newbies brought in a different strain than your herd is used to. I would give all newborns a dose of collimune and calf guard or first defence ,something that combats e coli and all other bacteria. Also make sure that your babies get colostrum in them as soon as they are born if you can; especially the heifers' calves, use powdered colostrum if necessary. Is there any other pasture you can move them to? If not, this is pretty much all you can do and the key to scours is hydration so you are going to be busy busy busy. Been there done that, and it was when we brought new animals into the herd; so now my herd is closed. Good luck. I know how frustrating this can be but hang in there and do your best, also what Dun suggested about a fecal sample to your vet might not be a bad idea. [/QUOTE]
