[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1286064, member: 22236"] I think that is a possibility. Although he always was alert, had his head up and looking around and not necessarily droopy looking, when I checked him I think he might have been a little under the weather and maybe that's why he stayed in the brush so much. He has been feeling much better, although he looks like hell with the raw places. I'm keeping them up until the skin is healed, so I can keep it medicated. He's jigging around and bucking some now, so maybe he will come around. If it will stay cool like yesterday maybe we're done with the flies. He felt much better and I did too. I did take his temp once, the first time he got droopy acting after getting them up. (I gave him the first round with those two when I initially found him without temping) 102.9 That's when I gave him the LA and banamine. If he gets droopy again I'll check his temp and maybe try one of the others next time. There was a comment above about LA not being the correct type of antibiotic for this type of case. Could you expand on that any for me? Or point me in a direction to where I can find a guide for choosing types of antibiotics according to what ails them? As far as I know, since they changed from giving Penicillin for almost everything, now they give LA for about anything. Foot rot, fescue foot, sniffles, bad cuts, etc. The pneumonia type sickness, Nuflor, Nuflor Gold has been the go to's and if they don't work, the Baytril, Draxxin. [/QUOTE]
