New question, the calves are anywhere from one to three weeks old. Now there noses are peeling. Could this be from treating them for the scours?
 
it may be from the scours itself. it causes them to get dehydrated.
 
Dehydration combined with running a temp could also cause their noses to peel. What are you treating them with, besides electrolytes?

It is from a fever. Their nose gets hot and then dries out, then it will start to peel, usually after the fever has gone down. It is not from any treatment that you are using, but it IS a sign that they are fevering. What are you treating them with?
