[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 324610, member: 2308"] Scours is basically diarreah. The biggest reason that calves die from scours is dehydration, and it can happen quickly since they are losing a lot of liquid, and usually they aren't eating well if at all. They usually have a fever, but not always. Pnemonia, is a disease of the lungs, and you will usually notice them panting, or you will hear them breathe. Both diseases can kill very quickly, especially if you do not notice the problem. You say you have another calf that has diarreah, you need to get some electrolytes into him!! Get some from your vet, or local farm supply and mix them according to the directions. Try bottle feeding the calf, and if he won't suck you will have to tube feed him. If you are tubing, I would suggest giving the electrolyes in a couple of smaller doses a couple hours apart rather than in 1 big dose. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
