What do you do when a calf has diarrhea?

To some degree the answer depends upon the age of the calf and the severity of the diarrhea. In a neonatal calf with severe diarrhea, treatment needs to start immediately to prevent death within 48 hours; in a heavy calf with mild diarrhea, you can wait to see if intervention is needed. Overall, diarrhea treatment in calves is symptomatic and reactionary - supplemental liquids, either oral or IV, to replace lost water volume; supplemental nutrition; extra protection from the wind and cold by bringing the calf into a shelter or a barn or building up the bedding. In rare occasions veterinarians may use antibiotics to help shorten the course of infection, but this is not typical - most bacterial diarrheas will resolve on their own and sometimes administering antibiotics to treat diarrhea makes the situation worse.

Can you give your dog pepto bismal?

I would strongly recommend calling your veterinarian first - dogs can have severe stomach problems that can be made worse with Pepto-Bismol, including gastric dilation and torsion and foreign bodies. Although not fun for the dog, it's generally better to let your dog ride through a bout of upset stomach without medication - he should be fine in about 12 hours and acting like normal again. However, in some cases veterinarians do use bismuth sulfate (the active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol) to treat minor cases of indigestion and diarrhea in dogs. It is important to check with your veterinarian regarding dosage for your dog (it is based on weight and health status, so it needs to be individually tailored) and the formula needs to be the original Pepto-Bismol with no other active ingredients.
