The Probios dispersable powder is a great product, put a teaspoon in her bottles from now on. It will help her to digest her milk and will ease her stomach and intestines from all the medication you will have to give her. You will give the albon which is a great product because this way if it is cocci or ecoli it will work for both. Do not put the Albon in the milk, make her take it, put it in a small sringe and force her to take it. I would not give her any elctorlytes until after she has drank her calories from her milk. What are you using for milk? Make sure you get her bottles warm and limit the amount of milk, she can stay healthy with smaller amounts but given throughout the day, much better than a tummy full of replacer. Never full feed milk replacer, always limit them, offering her grain and hay. Milk Replacer is such an inferior product that weaning is your goal, so you want them eating hay and grain as early as possible. Without her mom to teach her to eat you can sit in from of the grain dish and run your fingers through it, she will come and see what "mom" is up to and maybe taste it. Good luck with your kid. If you have any other kids, you should be treating everyone. Vicki
