[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 383255, member: 6198"] sounds like he is kinda constipated. Is it still like that? Might need some mineral oil as a drench to get him working again. How much milk does he get? I had a problem with a bottle twin. Posted in this health blog. Check it out, some of the answers might help you. it's titled "another question about the twins" One of the replys said that the bulls, steers require more milk than heiffers. Ours had a throaty cough while drinking his milk, now it pretty much as gone away. with the increase in milk his appetite increased for the grain. He got more spunk and energy and his eyes are much brighter. we also switched from the cheap replacer to the 20/20 plus the dairy grain which he was getting free choice from day one. check that post for the ideas others gave me. But if his poo is hard and dark he might have gotten dehydrated like humans do and now needs a kick start of mineral oil and maybe electrolytes to re balance his system. After reaading your edit here is mine, drench eith mineral oil and electrolytes. Mix the electrlyes 2L and add about a cup full maybe a bit more and drench him. [/QUOTE]
