    I have my bit done now. Brought her to the vet this morning and she tested a sample and it came up as crypto. Dripped her then and she gave me another drip to give to her this evening. Tubed 2lts with effydral tablets and a few spoons of glucose into her aswell and she has picked up an awful lot. Couldn't stand this morning and she stood up and sucked my finger there a half an hour ago. Hopefully she's on the right side of it now. Calve almost all of them outside but had this lady and a few more in the shed for a few days around calving and any that were inside have got a bad enough dose of scour. No more calves going in there this year if I can avoid it!!
    the effydral tablets seem to work well, hope the calf is ok

    Ah, give him a chance...december maybe!:pac:

    He is a fine size alright. Was watching the cow from behind the door of the shed as she calved. She had a fair push but made great progress once the feet appeared. When I saw the size of the two hoofs coming out I was certain it would end up with the jack.....
