[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1203586, member: 9267"] Your home-made electrolyte should also include about 2 tsp bicarbonate of soda, if you have to use that again. As long as she's keen to drink and behaving normal all is well - just keep offering her a bottle of electrolyte in between her milk feeds till she stops scouring. What sort of milk are you giving her and in what quantities? Do you know the weight of the calf? Scours are pretty common but can be either nutritional or pathogen, being a first calf it's more likely to be nutritional than if you'd had a few to practise on beforehand. Lots of information on calf rearing to be found on the internet, that may help you. [/QUOTE]
