Do a google search on calf scours!!

milk fed calves have a hard time after being moved. They scour very easy.Worse if bought out of a stock yard, many bad bugs in one place. Basicly no food for the first 24hrs. maybe some water.

Watch carefully for dehyration. If they are scoured they will dehydrate fast. Do a pinch test. Pinch some skin if it stays tented they are getting dehydrated. If the calf won't eat/drink and is getting dehydrated then it is time for the feeding tube, electrolites and water. maybe add an egg for the protein
