[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10882"] Temping the calves is excellent advice. I would also strongly advise sending off a stool sample, via your veterinarian, to a lab for testing. It will take about 3 days for the lab to grow the cultures and then determine what antibiotic, if any, the disease causing organism is susceptible to. Then you will most likely know what you are dealing with. There is also the possibility (among many other possibilities) of coccidiosis. Have a veterinarian examine these calves. He or she can determine whether they are fighting pneumonia. You might also consider having a vet post a dead calf as a way to find out what killed it. > I have been having problems with > sick calves.
