[QUOTE="TexasRancher, post: 1801102, member: 8359"] My advice...I would have NOT let the Vet inject him...for a "just in case"-or for thinking it "might be" this. Magnet and laxative were good insurance. You were fattening him up with grains quickly...with grains it's a slow acclamation process and diffcult to do. Sounds like you over-grained him and he might have on-set laminitis, not eating or moving much, dropping weight fast. He's not eating as he's recovering his rumen-stomach floral/linings. Dark black poo, might be irratated bleeding. Absolutely do not sell him at the sale barn. You should take the initiative and responsibility. He'll recover on his own if you stop graining him, help him to reset his system by administer calf bolus anibacterial pills (quantity for his weight) and put him back on hay or even better pasture grasses. I'm no doctor or Vet making money for administering strong antibotics....but I am someone that researched cattle anatomy and sicknesses for 6 months. Cattle know how to heal themselves on regular pasture land that contain a diverse set of weeds and tree leafs to choose from. [/QUOTE]
