[QUOTE="Cowsout, post: 1679563, member: 41789"] A couple of years ago one of my calves (less than a week old) developed diarrhea which over the course of the day became a very bloody diarrhea. I thought coccidiosis was most likely, but looked at a fresh fecal sample via microscope, and while there were some coccidia, it was mostly made of bacteria. I contacted my vet and gave me the details about the calf and the fecal smear, and he suspected an E. coli infection. He couldn't come out that day but suggested I start her on antibiotics, and the blood had gone away when he came the next day. The diarrhea also rapidly improved. My calf went from being active that morning to a little sluggish that afternoon, and she probably would have died of dehydration if I hadn't been closely watching her. [/QUOTE]
