Response to CALF SCOURS

from Bernice (geminigoats@yahoo.com)
Hi Patty,

We buy calves from the local auction at times to raise on goat milk. We found success by giving them a scour pill, can't recall name and hubby is snoring away in chair. he knows the name. Anyways we give them 1 pill 2x's a day for 2 days. i think we get it from the Animal Medic or PBS catalog. then we give Immuno-G for stress. after that we feed with our excess goat milk. We have not lost any with this procedure. Before this we lost a lot to scours and secondary pnemonia. Alos, at the auction, since its a small one we ask if the calf had colestrum. if not then its just not worth buying as without its hard. But... I'm wondering if giving Immuno-G would help... will know here soon as we have to buy calves again. Hope this helps.
