[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1286367, member: 20599"] So, I have a few (one in particular) that either have put on a bit of condition or are a bit bloated. Much rounder sides, looks like they swallowed a basketball. I gave them some stemmy hay, which they were eating today, and made sure they were all up and (gently) walked around. I went to TS and bought the only bloat treatment they had tonight (a single serving size of a bloat drench), but haven't administered it. Couldn't get pics yet as I didn't have a camera. Field has a good bit of new clover. No frothing or foaming at mouth, no bawling. I am going to another ag supply place tomorrow and will look for the bloat mineral blocks. How do you tell a "wait and see" case from a need-to-treat case? Obviously, if the animal is down and won't get up or is in obvious respiratory distress, that's an emergency. But what else can be done [i]before[/i] it gets to that point? I also bought a jug of light mineral oil at TS: has anyone used that for mild/moderate bloat? Amount/application? many thanks! [/QUOTE]
