About Scour
Scour is a clinical sign of a problem, not a disease. The root problem can be varied but one thing that is consistent is the negative effect that scour can have on calves and lambs, not just now but into the future.

Supporting
Scouring Animals
It is the dehydration and acidosis that scour causes that kills, so replacing fluid and electrolytes is key to supporting scouring animals.
