[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 511986, member: 852"] A few thoughts... 1) if she had scours she should have been treated, if she HAS scours she still needs to be treated 2) missing out on colostrum is not a death sentence, but it does make them more succeptible to pathogens for the first few months of their lives 3) putting her back with the herd is also not a death sentence so long as she's with her dam (mother)... I wouldn't recommend dumping her out there to fend for herself 4) unless I'm mistaken, from reading your other post you already put her back out with her dam :???: 5) if #4 is correct, then my advise to you is the same as before, put cow and calf in a pen by themselves until they bond 6) check her her navel area, knees, and hocks for unusual heat or swelling [/QUOTE]
