[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 612997, member: 6797"] From what I read, this animal has been sick for the entire time you have owned him - he came to the farm with the problem. You should have left him where he was - but that is now a moot point - hopefully no other animals get sick because of him. Six months. Here is what you need to do 1. Find a large animal veterinarian that actually knows what is going on and actually does something about it. From what I have read, the veterinarian you have now is running a rather slipshod practise - or not communicating with you properly. Perhaps both. He THINKS it might be ringworm? A few simple tests would confirm. A separate opinion never hurts and in this case sounds needed. Or: 2. Get some blood and skin samples yourself and get them tested at an independant lab asap. Or: 3. Load that sick little sucker into a trailer and take him to the nearest veterinary college. Do this soonest - he looks pretty bad and us folks on the site can offer a dozen remedies or home remedies for what WE think might be wrong with him. The rememdies might or might not work - but you will never know because you cannot start administering all or any of what is suggested until you actually know what the problem is. If no one can find the problem, shoot him and start over. No one would ever want to eat him as he is. And for sure no one would want him on their farm with a potentially contagious problem that could be serious. Best of luck and Happy New year Bez+ [/QUOTE]
