[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 352336, member: 6007"] Well, I am going out on a limb. If you wait long enough you will get the whole gammet - what is his feed quality, what is his temp, what is skin quality, how is his breathing, lots of questions on his feet - anti biotics for infection, is he defecating and urinating and so on. But - you do not like your vet. Sounds to me like this animal has not been seen by a veterinarian, it has only been "discussed" on the telephone. A physical examination is in order. So, get a second opinion. If there is no other veterinarian near by and this calf is worth saving put him in the pick up and go for a drive. If he is worth saving - otherwise it sounds like he is on his way down. The other side of the coin is you can put too much into this guy and never get your cash back - bullet is cheap in that case - but only you can make that decision. I have a PERSONAL LIMIT OF 50 BUCKS PER CALF. And it better be truly improving as I get over 30 bucks or I get an itchy trigger finger. Lots of opinions on this board and some are darned good - but unless someone actually sees the animal or is a no kidding animal doc - I suggest you get that second opinion. Soon. One other thing Cathy - I never use Bo-Se. In my part of the world it has to come from the veterinarian - I like over the counter stuff if at all possible. May be different where you are. I use a straight selenium shot and vitamin shot - cheaper and does as good a job in my opinion - you will find the board response is Bo-Se is a wonder drug. It may be - but it costs more. No matter what you do - do it soon and good luck. Bez> [/QUOTE]
