| description | Diarrhea in neonatal calves is due to one or more causes. Strong
ion (metabolic) acidosis is common in diarrheic calves. Clinical
signs associated with metabolic acidosis are vague and nonspecific.
However, the calf's age can be used to predict the severity
of metabolic acidosis, because one weak old diarrheic calves are
less acidemic than older calves despite they have similar clinical
signs. Moreover, the suckling reflex is closely associated with
base excess parameters. One of the most important factors for
decreasing mortality rates associated with diarrhea in calves is
parenteral and oral administration of appropriately formulated
electrolyte solutions. Inclusion of an alkalinizing agent is
required to correct systemic metabolic acidosis. Bicarbonatecontaining
fluids are more effective at rapidly correcting severe
acidemia, since bicarbonate reacts directly with H+ ions. Lactated
Ringers solution or Acetated Ringers solutions can be used to
correct mild to moderate acidosis. |
