[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 623944, member: 4353"] If Ivomec and Cydectin didn't help, the most likely cause would be flukes of some sort. The bottle jaw would have been a good indication of liver fluke if it was here in SA. Typically cattle starts losing weight with a real untrifty coat, have the squirts, which can vary in colour from green to almost black with every shade and colour inbetween, develope a bottle jaw and become very anemic. A single treatment is seldom sufficient and the road to recovery is slow in advanced cases. Once the squirts stop and the anemia and bottle jaw is still evident a good dose of Epsom salts (2 cups disolved in 1/2 gallon water, given as a drench) will usually help drain the bottle jaw and jaundice caused by the damage to the liver, but will cause the stool to be very runny as a result. On a sidenote, dosing with Valbazen will cause loose stool for a day or so afterwards. [/QUOTE]
