During the usual tussling after they came in from pasture, one of our bulls hurt his ankle. We isolated him in a dry lot and have been giving him a little grain and flakes of alfalfa hay and he seemed to be getting better. Then he started favoring a front foot and now just seems to be tender footed in general. His ankle is still swollen but not as bad as before but we are concerned with the whole picture. He is eating well and generally bright eyed although he doesn't move around much; just gets up to eat and drink. He's too big for the chute and isn't feeling exactly cooperative anyway so we haven't taken a temperature. His nose is wet and shiny so I don't think he is running one. What do you think?
