[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 980928, member: 5601"] Chippie, Re: Yes, Here is the timeline I have. Have I got it correct? SL Bought in October First illness: “did very well for two months. ( Dec 1 ) “then a month ago” “unstable and wobbly” (That would also be around Dec 1.” Made 1 day recovery 30 days good health anyways it had been about a month, of good normal health (from Jan.1 ) Second illness: “new years eve” “he went down” Jan 6 still down. To me that’s two episodes in 90 days with the time in between being a healthy holding time from administration of a potent broad spectrum antibiotic cocktail, with possibly a B12 shot . Now if you accept as fact that he was already inflicted when bought, that makes 3 episodes in 90 days, and if the breeder treated him to get him to walk into the ring, that makes 4 episodes. With a history like, I don’t expect him to recover. Two things that I suspect is a botched banding at birth causing an abdominal infection. Or a damaged umbilical cord caused by being pulled at birth also causing abdominal infection. Both of which would cause a rotten gut smell in the stool, especially with high and prolonged administration of antibiotics. And rotting guts will cause malnutrition and malnutrition will cause “unstable and wobbly” and a downer who can’t get up and can’t recover no matter what or how much antibiotics you give him. Just some more food for thought. SL [/QUOTE]
