[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11468"] If the calf had scours, it was losing vitamins, minerals and water. Scours equals dehydration. Water eliminated faster than consumed, by all form of liquid intake. Viral scours are tough. Bacterial scours are just about as bad, but can be treated. Take specific note of scours symptoms and it will assist your vet with treatment. > Lost 2 calves this week.
