Diarrhea causes dehydration and it is important to keep as much liquid going in as what is coming out, says veterinarian
Knowing the symptoms and causes of calf diarrhea may be the ounce of prevention that is worth a pound of cure.

“Where it becomes important is when it is associated with disease.”
Calves with scours may look normal, but they get depressed or dehydrated and may go down or die as the condition worsens.
