What a BEAUTIFUL day you all had. Alright Lucy! Loved the game she was playing with your son. Truly glad for all of you.codymax2 said:She was full of it today!! Must be feeling real good =P She was racing my 6 year old around the backyard he was on bike! He'd start and say come on Lucy and she'd run like heck, stop and wait for him to call her againAlso worked on leading and cleaned up her buns and tail.

Keep her there for a couple days this time, and let her finish her medications.
Double check your milk replacer, does it say soy protein on the bag anywhere?

Green poo. Does it smell terrible? any blood or clumps? Can you check her temp? (normal is between 101 and 102.5)
If you see mucous (may look like egg whites in the poop), this is a corona virus and the runny poo may last for several days to a week.
I expect, though that this little one has coccidiosis. If she were mine, I'd go ahead and have a vet run a fecal to get a worm load and coccidia check done, just to know where I stood on the situation.
It's all good though, because the sulpha drugs are the drug of choice for treating calves with Coccidia. If she has a high load of coccidia, she may need an extra run of the sulfa drugs.
It may take her a week or more before she can handle her full strength milk again.
