Rehydration, treatment plan & heat for this little lad!! 🩺 Thankfully a night in the neonatal unit served him well and is back with mother 🙏 Scour can be caused by 👉Parasites (Cryptosporidia, *Coccidia **normally calves over 3 wks**) 👉Viruses (Rotavirus, Coronavirus) 👉Bacteria (Salmonella, *E-coli **calves under 5 days**) Key points with scouring calves 👇 ▪️Early intervention is key!- call the vet if 📲 ✔calf is refusing milk ✔down & lethargic ✔eyes appear sunken due to dehydration ✔temperature outside the normal range (38.5-39.5°C) 🌡 ⚠️**Isolate the calf away from other calves on farm*** We can carry out a quick snap test that can identify which scour the calf may have. A treatment appropriate to diagnosis with IVFT therapy is provided. It is important to note that these are baby animals! they need thermal support such as heat lamps and dry straw bedding. Important- practicing proper biosecurity is critical when dealing with sick calves as in some scour cases they can cause disease in humans. #sucklercows #calves #farmvets #bovinemedicine #babycalf
