Difficult problem in calves since it rapidly causes dehydration and loss of minerals.
Appears 24-72 hours after birth. Sudden and violent, whitish, then grey and even blackish, sometimes aggravated by bronco-pneumonia.
: Lack of modified colostrum (immuni-milk) at birth, incomplete mechanical absorption of milk (bucket on the ground level), humid straw and drafts at ground level.
INTOXSOL+SEPTISOL, alternate with FLAMESOL + INTOXSOL, every 2 or 4 hours (according to seriousness) during the next 48 hours, then 2 times a day until symptoms disappear.
Aqueous yellow diarrhea, sometimes striated with blood, with very rapid deterioration of the calf, at 24 to 48 hours after birth.
Subjects with weak immune systems, direct contact at birth, vaccination against E-coli.
INTOXSOL+SEPTISOL alternated with INTOXSOL+ FLAMESOL 4 to 6 times the first 2 days then 2 times per day until symptoms disappear.

Bowel inflammation in calves aged around 3 weeks caused by bacteria.
The diarrhea is whitish, then greenish, bloody and foul smelling.
Lack of modified colostrum (immuni-milk) at birth, indigestion from milk and feed, overfeeding.
SEPTISOL + FLAMESOL in the morning, INTOXSOL +DRAINSOL in the evening until symptoms disappear.
Affects mainly adults, bovines sent late into wet humid pasture fields where one can find irritant or toxic plants. Bloody and irritating diarrhea.
Intoxication by toxic or very green plants, cold humidity.
FLAMESOL + INTOXSOL morning and INTOXSOL+SEPTISOL evening until symptoms disappear.
N.B: When diarrhea persists for a long time, especially for calves, dehydration and mineral loss must be countered: give a re-mineralization Protocol by giving MINSOL once a day during 5 days, and re-hydrate with a saline solution.
Affecting rectal and digestive mucous membranes, mainly in the summer, this illness has a viral origin and is very contagious. Calves are its main victims; there is high fever (108 degrees F), rapid pulse, with clear mucus flowing from everywhere: nose, mouth, rectum; this mucus progressively becomes infected. Rapid breathing accompanied by a cough. Within 48 hours, the mucous membranes in the nose become a bright pink color and small ulcers grow in and on the muzzle. Those ulcers also invade the interior of the lips and the palate. There is abundant salivation, an extremely liquid and abundant scours, causing dehydration, and eventually death.
Cause: A weak immune system, repeated vaccinations, a long spell of warm temperatures, an excess of rapidly digestible energy at the intestinal levels.
Consult metabolic Type 1, 9, 12.
Protocol: VIRALSOL + LUNGSOL alternated every half hour with INTOXSOL+DRAINSOL 4 to 6 times the first 2 days then 2 times a day until symptoms disappear.

it is a parasite that invades the cell walls of the intestines, affecting 89% of the herds. Newborn calves are especially susceptible and the first few days of life are the most critical. During the first six weeks, the parasite reproduces, releasing eggs, which invade other cells of the intestine, causing inflammation and affecting nutrient absorption. The fusariosa rosea, toxin frequently found in the corn silage can be an aggravating factor. Contamination by external sources is also possible (people or animals). Scours are yellow and very liquidy and can turn greenish or bloody, from 4 to 10 days. Young calves usually succumb to dehydration. It is thus necessary to give a preventive Protocol to the mother and the calf, around the critical period, at calving, in priority:
Coccidida infect the cells of the intestines and multiply inside the cells until the cell explodes and the coccidida infect other intestinal cells. Giardia also infects the intestinal tract but do not reside inside the cells but attach to the outside of them. Both coccidida and giardia can survive outside the host for 12 months and 6 months respectively. Coccidiose is present in 100% of the herds, whereas Giardia in 46%. Signs of infestation are greenish liquid scours, sometimes bloody, lasting for a period of 5-6 days (coccidiose) or pasty or semi-fluid manure appearing every two days (giardiose). This will cause dehydration and stunt growth. To avoid infection it is critical to follow the proper protocol in order to protect the young at birth. It is also important to support the immune system to prevent secondary infections from bacteria or viruses, which join in with the protozoa, like rotavirus and BVD.

this form of strongles is contracted mostly in summer by cattle in free stall barns. Young stock from 4 to 24 months is especially susceptible and losses can be significant. Partial immunity is very important to develop in this case. For this reason the protocol for strongylosis is very similar to the protocol for coccidiosis.

c.<2>2) Digestive strongyloses, fasciolose and babebiose (or piroplasmosis):
the development of these parasites is influenced by the method of production, i.e. pasture. This will affect all young animals in first and second seasons of grazing; animals older than two years enjoy a specific partial immunity because of the balance between host-parasite. Several factors can negatively influence the development of this immunity: wet and cold weather conditions, repeated deworming protocols (less than 4 months apart), bad pasture rotation management, cow-calf separation, prolonged pasture in the fall, calving in winter (maximum contamination in August after weaning) or in spring (not enough contacts with the parasites).
- Administer the Preventive plan above to calves and heifers up to two years of age at critical times, such as at the start and end of the pasturing season. Repeat in times of large climatic change.
This is a bacterial disease (Mycobacterium avium subsp. Para tuberculosis) that is robust and that also mutates easily, which causes a severe and chronic swelling (evolving to necroses) of the lymphatic nodes mesenteric (intestinal) and ileum. There is no fever at first, but the animal will experience weight loss and painful, often bloody, scours. This continuous inflammation causes infection, frequently from corynebacterium and actynomycosis type mastitis’s and can lead to septicaemia. An effective disinfectant is a combination of formol 5%, copper sulfate 5%.
A lack of immunity to this disease can be attributed to poor immunity transition from the dam onto the offspring. It is thus crucial to stimulate such immunity in the mother before calving and then to the newborn even though symptoms of the disease only appear 18 months after birth.
It is thus important, for the animals’ health or for the risks incurred for human health, to build up an efficient homeopathic protocol for the mothers and newborn calves until the 18th month of age.
Pregnant cows of less than 3 years of age:
-On pasture: Day 1, FLAMESOL, 10 ml
Day 2, MYCOSOL, 10 ml
Day 3, INTOXSOL, 10 ml
Day 4, MINSOL, 10 ml
Repeat once a month for the last 3 months of pregnancy.
-No pasture: once a month for the last 3 months of pregnancy.
Newborn calves to 3 years of age:
-On pastures: Day 1: FLAMESOL, 5ml
Day 2: MYCOSOL, 5ml
Day 3: INTOXSOL, 5ml
Day 4: MINSOL, 5 ml
Repeat once a month for 6 months, from sixth to twelfth months, once every 2 months, and from 13 to 18 months of ages, once every 3 months. Until 3 years of age, repeat the protocol twice a year, before and after the grazing season.
-No pastures: Same protocol the first month, then once a month until 6 months, then every 3 months, up to 18 months of age.
Day 1 to 7: FLAMESOL+MYCOSOL morning
INTOXSOL evening
Day 8 to 10: MINSOL morning.
