Saying Thanks to randiliana

For your post on feeding dehydrated/weak/scouring calves.
I ran a quick search here while looking for treatment suggestions and came up with your post.

I just took three guys (we call them bummer calves here) through a pretty bad case of scours (one we lost, one came awfully close, the other was moderate). The one went from laid out, only sign he was alive was that he was breathing (6:30am) to up on his feet, shaky but up, and talking (1:30am next morning) he was hungry . They're both frolicking now 2 days later.

Thanks for the advice, it really helped us here.
