[QUOTE="angie1, post: 919980, member: 3886"] Draxxin is a good idea ~ I would not use the resflor as it can cause diarrhea, and I can only believe he already has dehydration issues. I agree the peeling nose is from fever. The drainage from his nose ~ is it clear? Is yes, then I would not worry about it so much if at all. What I would suggest is a different antibiotic (draxxin is good) paired with banamine (very important, the banamine, and yes can be given IM). Finally, pull the milk replacer and get your calf on a supplemental hydration formula. Make sure it is "complete" so that your calf continues to get the calories it needs aside from the electrolytes. I would feed this to your calf for the next 3 days, INSTEAD OF milk replacer, not along with milk replacer. It is expensive, so I hate to suggest any longer, but it is VERY worth the money. I know it is not often possible, but offer the calf this is a bottle often throughout the day rather than in 2 or 3 feedings. Invest in a tube of probiotics as well ~ they are cheap, but necessary. Remember that sometimes they die and its not because of anything you did, they just die sometimes. Good luck!! Been there, done this. [/QUOTE]
