[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 227055, member: 539"] Yes, the calves that come down with milk scours are the calves that belong to high milking mothers. It usually happens within about 2, possibly 3 days of birth - although my timing could be off here, I'm going off memory and that's iffy at best. Usually they will clear up on their own if the calf is on his mother. I don't take a chance with bottle calves, because they are at a disadvantage to start with. We watch the calves with milk scours and, if it hasn't cleared up by day 2, they get dosed with scour pills. Watch your calves for dirty backsides and runny yellow-colored diarrhea - that's milk scours. Crypto is a white, curdled milk color and consistency, and I'm not sure if it's e-coli or rota-corona that produces the thin, white scours. Whichever one it is, the other one produces a different color, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it is. :oops: [/QUOTE]
