All of this years calves have been born now and the work load should have been reduced;  not so; the unusually wet weather has added stress to the new born calves and they are experiencing an outbreak of scours (diarrhea).  Within a few hours a previously healthy calf can become too weak to stand due to the toxins from the bacteria that infect  them.  Oral electrolytes, antibiotics and an antiinflamatory has saved any that we find in time.  Sunshine has returned  the past couple of days so hopefully this problem will disappear.
