Going through a bit of a ‘trial by fire’ with my first bottle calf.
He came to me with a bad case of scours (severe diarrhea common in calves that get taken from their mom at birth) on Friday when I picked him up in Ohio. He’s been shitting liquid ever since.
I feel horrible for him, but I’ve got him on ‘resorb’ electrolytes and brought him into the basement next to the geothermal system and put some fresh hay down for him before he bedded down.
All I can do now is pray he makes it, I guess? I’m just trying to make him comfortable as possible. Fingers crossed he pulls through.
