[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11396"] Hopefully someone who really knows something will answer your post, meanwhile here is what a book of mine says: * Replace liquids give a quart of warm water by esophegeal feeder every six to eight hours. You can add electrolyte or homemeade elecrolyte mix (1/2 t salt, 1/2 t lite salt, and if critically ill 1/2 t baking soda). Add powdered sugar if he is weak. *You can also add 2 to 4 oz kaopectate to soothe the gut and slow down diarrhea or adult dose of liuid pepto bismol * It mentions to get a good liquid antibiotic from your vet. * It says if you catch scours early you can give a neomycin sulfate solution in a syringe to squirt in the back of the claf's mouth. Use 1cc per 40 pounds of weight. This is taken from a book on calves by Heather Smith Thomas. Hope someone else gives you the real deal on treating scours, but maybe some of these interventions will give you a start. Good luck to you and your little one.
