Poorly calf

[Amx100]

Does anyone know how to treat this calf. We have tried all sorts been poorly since Thursday but has been up and down since then. We are stomach feeding water. Mixed glucose in it. She has had scours mix - we are at a loss and I don’t want to lose her. Her poos have been ok until today .. I’ve never seen that colour before (see pic) any help appreciated

Have you had a sample taken and tested on a snap test ?

No I haven’t - we don’t have those but possibly worth getting some

I think your vet will be able to assist with that

Dehydration is the number 1 killer in calves.

Try an egg twice a day. As well as rehydration.

What’s it temperature

Rotavirus has a grey coloured scour, calves go downhill rapidly.

Is she getting milk as well?

Yeah, don't pull them off milk. You gotta feed them through it.

As well as identifying the issue, the vet can put them on a drip.
