5 wk old buck has scours

What do the scours look/smell like? Any blood present? Give fluids, keep him hydrated.

If he's a bottle fed ? I would give him Albon 2cc day one 1 1/2 cc day 2 then 1cc day 3 and 1/2 cc day 4...................DO NOT STOP Treatment till You have done the full go round!



Just What I would DO !!!

Yup, what Mr. Scott said. Give some probiotics as well to add good bacteria back into the rumen.

And if there was blood. What would you give the little guy? E-Coli or Cocc?

Coccidia, high dose of Albon for 7 days. I have success and been recommended by vets/deer specialists to do 5cc per 20lb for three days and then if it starts to change back to normal-ish u can finish out with 3cc the following four days. With Albon you are actually able to give 21 days straight if need be, and should be given 2-3 days after poop has returned to normal. I would be running fluids, giving sugar and probiotics regularly. Need to keep the energy level high in the little ones. Symptoms of e.coli that i have seen are a "white poop" which is actually the shedding of intestinal cells. Fluids again, excede, baytril, and probiotics are needed for this battle. Both of which are not easy to fend off, and when you think its gone treat again.

Well Mike, I would Stop the Milk and start the Fawn on a Product from Sav-A-Calf about $1.45 a Pak called Electrolytes Plus and give Baytril as well as some Probiotic Paste we use a paste called Achieve with cryptex and is for Lambs and kids (baby Goats) about $2.65 a Tube! You can get it ALL at any Farm Supply Store and If you have fawns Every Year you need to have on hand EVERY year!
