[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15922"] Last Wednbesday I had a nice angus steer that the previous day was eating like a cow laying down in the pasture, legs straight out and bloating starting. I rolled him over and got him up onto his feet. The vat came out and said he was probably not drinking enought water and gave him a shot of some anti-biotic and said that he would be fine. I watched him and for the next day had to get him back up about 8 times. One of the times when he was down and Ihad nbt yet rolle him onto his feet the vet came out and gave him about a gallon of mineral oil ad also three big pink tablets which the vet described as cow ex-lax. Vet again check him over and said he would be fine. He was essentially off any food, though he was offered free choice nice alfalfa and also grain and also breeder cubes. He had easy access to fresh water in a large trough. The pasture was level. Prior he also had free access to salt, minerlal and sweetlick with magnesium. He died this afternoon. would not get up and simply stopped trying. I am thinking I should have him autopsied by the vet, I hop whatever it is in not contageious. Any thoughts? Hardware Disease? There is not sufficient green forage to cause any problem. Eaglewerks [email=eaglewerks@brigadoon.us]eaglewerks@brigadoon.us[/email] [/QUOTE]
