[QUOTE="Quigly, post: 1203891, member: 21929"] I'm not sure why vinegar would be used in a homemade scours remedy, but I would consider discontinuing it. Scouring calves tend to get acidotic and since vinegar is an acid I would be concerned about it exacerbating that situation. Crypto is endemic in the US dairy herd so when calves that age start to scour it is one of the first things I would think of. As long as it will nurse, keep getting liquid in it, two milk feedings a day and two electrolyte feedings a day, alternate between the two. Resorb is not a real great electrolyte, but it works if you have it. I prefer almost any other product over it, Entrolyte is probably one of the best. A lot of times these calves will scour for days as they slowly heal their intestines so keep after it. [/QUOTE]
