[QUOTE="Alice, post: 410726, member: 3873"] Unless the electrolytes specifically say it can be mixed with milk replacer, don't ever mix it with milk replacer. Thank goodness the calf still has a good appetite. If you can keep the calf sucking, you have a much better chance with it. Until you know without a doubt that the scours have stopped, keep giving the electrolytes at least TWICE a day. When calves have [b]severe[/b] scours, the scours shoot right straight out and might not touch the tail or legs. AND, what you may think are pee spots can actually be scour spots. I'm not saying that is the case here, but don't stop giving the calf electrolytes just because you find wet spots around the pen. In this heat, [b]dehydration[/b] from scours can kill a calf in a heartbeat. Don't leave anything to chance. Alice [/QUOTE]
