[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1571331, member: 12520"] The electrolytes we use here are thin like water and go down the tube easier than milk. We give the calf electrolytes, a CalfSpan bolus, and a dose of penicillin orally. Sometimes an injection of Resflor. Seems like if you catch them early and hit them hard they come around quickly. Usually one treatment as described and they are back on their feet and nursing in no time so follow up milk feeding is seldom required. Personally, if they are still dehydrating a few hours later I would give another bag of electrolytes rather than milk. I feel it's more important to keep them hydrated and given the energy that electrolytes provide. Also, the electrolytes are available in a HE (high energy) formulation which is what I use. [/QUOTE]
