Hello. There are many reasons for scours in a calf, but the first thing to investigate is the presence of intestinal parasites. If you have not had a fecal analysis done to look for parasites like coccidia, this would be the first step. Since she is eating well, the addition of electrolyte & probiotics may help, but start by having Choo Choo's stool looked at. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
