[QUOTE="larryshoat, post: 453393, member: 6773"] To put this another way would be to ask ,how much gas do I need to put in my tank? Well,it would depend on the size of the tank and how much is gone. The calf is somewhat the same. The % dehydration times the weight gives us the amount that has to be replaced.As Alice and the others have have stated less and more often is better.What I have noticed in newer calfraisers is that they fail to realize how far behind the calf is on water.In severely dehydrated calves oral rehydration may not be enough.A better option in these calves would be IV therapy along with oral therapy.Keep in mind as well that we have to not only catch him up on fluids ,but also compensate for what he is losing.
