My calf is scouring. Is there
anything I can give them to help?
Electrolyte replacement can help in treating
the symptoms of diarrhoea (scours). In many
situations supportive care through electrolyte
replacement can be sufficient during which time
the diarrhoea may self-resolve.
However, the problem is that diarrhoea has a
number of different causes including parasitic,
viral and bacterial, each with their own specific
treatment requirements. If the diarrhoea is
persistent or appears to be spreading in a herd
situation a diagnosis from your veterinarian
should be sought immediately.
Scourban is a popular product for treating
bacterial diarrhoea and coccidiosis. However this
is an S4 Prescription Animal Remedy and as such
can only be supplied to you by the veterinarian
you use to treat your animal.
Please keep in mind that acute diarrhoea can kill
a young animal within 24-48 hours, so seeking
veterinary advice is always recommended.
