[QUOTE="terigro, post: 837518, member: 16727"] I learned fast that there are many reasons a calf can scour, first we all do not know until we all experiance it and what was the cause and if it really is scours. My first calf we thought was scours but she did not make it. Now on our third calf she was fine when she came home to us but sure enough the next morning we seen blood in her stool, now this was the second baby calf that we had this happen to us. I am bound and determined to save this ones life. First hydrate hydrate them inbetween their 2'xs of feedings a day, believe it or not I had a young lady tell me to try Gatorade 1 pint half gatorade half warm water. Then we give her (Scours & Pneumonia Treatment Advance, Calf medic medicated plus calf milk replacer) This is written on the bags we buy and they are not to expensive $2.00 and change. Her name is Gracy, yes we ended up naming her and our other one that lived her name is Lacy they both are our first beef cattle and hopefully they are going to be our breeders. Well it has been 7 days now since Gracy at age one day and half we have had her on this treatment and she is doing great playing and eating some hay and drinking on her own. She had blood in her stool pretty bad that my husband tubed her her first night home. I think the gatorade has helped alot plus they like it alot. I was told also pedia light would work well in a pinch also. I am still praying she will keep on recovering but I thought I would share this with you maybe give you something to try out. We were told about the pills you can get for scours but the medicated milk replacer has more antibiotics in it and it turned out to work much better then the pills. I wish you luck with your calf. Also I hope this can help you out in someway. :hat: [/QUOTE]
