[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1378924, member: 25884"] From what I have read I do think that you said the calf did take a bottle a couple of times. I think that the antibiotics, like sustain bolus and or a shot of nuflor or even just penicillin will help to bolster the immune response. I think that the change from real cows milk to milk replacer was a big part of the scours and the color of the manure. And yes, get some all-milk milk replacer as the soy just doesn't give the calf what they need as babies. You could mix the soy milk replacer in with the real stuff to use it up so it is not wasted once you get the calf back to eating, but right now it needs the real stuff or as close as you can get. Do you have a dairy closeby that you could get some real milk from? Sometimes that will help the transition to milk replacer since the calf was stealing off a cow before you got it. I think the trauma of pulling the calf off from stealing from the registered cows and the switch to the soy milk replacer just threw it's system into a tailspin. Antibiotics for the fever and cough etc. [/QUOTE]
