[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 365561, member: 539"] Granted, scours are the fastest way to upset the electrolyte balance, but electrolytes go far beyond scours. They also become depleted when he is not being fed enough to maintain proper system balance. They help provide the necessary vital elements to bring a calf back when it is not getting enough nutrition, the balance has been upset, and the systems have started shutting down. Electrolytes are the balance of necessary potassium, calcium, etc, that are required to keep the heart beating, the cells interchanging necessary fluids, etc. Electrolyte balance can be upset by much more than just scours, it can also be upset by lack of food causing demands to be placed on systems that aren't mature enough to handle it.
