A clinical refresher on fluid therapy for scouring calves
Live webcast with Dr. Claire Windeyer presented on January 29, 2025, at 1 p.m. EST. This webcast will be available for on-demand viewing on our website: https://www.communivet.com/en/fa/education/webcasts/fluid-therapy-for-scouring-calves
Neonatal calf diarrhea (i.e., scours) is one of the predominant causes of calfhood disease, death, and reduced growth. While various pathogens may cause diarrhea, clinical symptoms and case fatality are largely associated with the ensuing dehydration rather than the diarrhea itself. As such, fluid therapy is the most important aspect of treatment, and the appropriate correction of dehydration and acid-base imbalances is critical for clinical success in scours cases. During this webcast, Dr. Claire Windeyer will refresh some principles of fluid therapy, including reviewing practical tools for in-clinic or on-farm rehydration of calves.
