I think that you are just catching the first symptoms of scours. Sounds like their stomachs aren't feeling good, and then they start to scour. I would get some scour pills into them at the first signs. Are you losing any? Calfspan are pretty good pills.
 
nope but see our vets cannont find the root problem they try different things they work then the virus gets a munnity or such to that and it doesnt affect them anymore
 
Well, if it is a virus affecting the calves, then antibiotics will not help against it. However, antibiotics will be useful against any secondary bacterial infections. Hope your vets figure out what is going on.
