[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16475"] I don't understand why anyone would recommend giving an antibiotic to an apparently healthy calf. And, then recommend giving probios. Yes, if the calf has been on antibiotics, it will probably benefit from probios. And, the probios won't hurt the calf. But why recommend antibiotics in the first place? We are seeing so many antibiotic resistant infections in our hospitals that I can't advocate giving unnecessary antibiotics to any livestock or human. > Calf scours will have a foul odor, > and be loose/runny, calf may also > produce a bubly/faomy defecation > that is runny.
