How old were they when you got them and how old are they now? If they never got colostrum from their mom it may not help now. Some BioSol may help with the scours but it would be helpful if you knew what was causing the scours to start with. If you are using replacer that may be part of the problem. Some of them are a little too rich and can cause scours. I have seen people cut back on the mix and have better results. If you can get it goat milk works good too. I would also wonder if there isn’t a parasite problem? Coccida can cause scours real bad and even kill the animal. Here is some info on Coccida. http://www.corid.com/coccidia.html Hope you get this figured out. If they were mine I would have a vet do a fecal to eliminate parasites and keep the electrolytes going so they don’t dehydrate. Good luck with this.
