[QUOTE="regolith, post: 806508, member: 9267"] I'm presuming the vet thinks the coccidiocis is not the problem - you haven't listed anything there that effectively treats it (I'm uncertain whether the sulpha bolus would have any effect). Your vet will give more pointed advice than any of us can. Last time I saw real black runny faeces it was stomach ulcers (blood causing the black colouring), vet filled the cow up with antibiotics and she died that night in spite of his 'semi-hopeful' prognosis. But normal scours due to diet, infection, or as side effect of another ailment would just as easily match your description. First, ensure she is hydrated. She's drinking a little - good. Do the skin test like DB describes below and get electrolytes into her if she's dehydrated. And heed Dun's advice - the right antibiotics will fix most things unless the beast was going to die anyway. Let us know how she gets on. [/QUOTE]
