No not sick at all just their dung is runny like water

K.G.

Its the mixing of calves and plenty milk that's causing the watery dung.every calf brings its own bugs from the different farms.there is no cure for scour,all you can do is treat it by keeping the stomach ph right and hydrated. Often a bit of yogurt helps in these types of situation but I don't know how to get it into sucking calves.

Natural yogurt for a few days.
I don't notice as many discoloured poos since.
So they may have gotten worse or better.
Have 1 that I need to witness that I know was watery
