[QUOTE="Sroem, post: 454022, member: 7238"] This is my first post-- I just found you tonight. My son has 2 steers he was fattening as a FFA project. He has been doing all the feeding for the last 3 weeks- I went out Sunday to feed for him and got shock one was down about 250 lbs since I last saw it. (the kid did not notice!!!) I think he may have picked up a wire.. so I put 2 magnets down him. plus some LA 200 and Sulpha-- (to fight any infection. ) It appears he stopped eating I cannot get a vet to come out-- one said he was pretty much a goner.. Tonight I was able to get him to drink 2 gallons of warm water and hand fed him by shoving some grass and appled dipped in Molasses down the side of mouth-- he chews very slowly..and has no interest in grain or alfalfa. The steer is 10 months old he also had diareah-( although now not much going in so not much going out-)-I did see him urinate about 45 minutes after he drank. He breathing is normal and he does not appear to running temp coat condition is surprisingly good. [/QUOTE]
