[QUOTE="VCC, post: 726232, member: 6399"] OK, hopefully all has been taken care of all ready but if not, the first thing you want to do is have him checked by the vet, Take his temp as mentioned above the first thing the vet will do is ask if he has a fever, it is best if you can answer this when you talk to him. While you are waiting for that, take the grain away, give him all the hay (good clean grass hay) and water he wants, get some "Probios gel or Cellarator Turbo Paste" These will help get his guts back to working right. These will also help keep his guts right if you have to give him Antibiotics when the vet comes. (Should always have a tube around for an emergency) Hopefully after the vet gets him straitened out, you will want to make sure that you get him back on grain slowly. It may take you up to 2 weeks to work back to where he should be. That would be 2-3 percent of his body weight of a good mixed feed. You also need to make sure that the feed you are feeding stays consistent, if the feed you are feeding is changing from bag to bag or lot to lot it can have an adverse effect on the animal. You should never wait to long before you call the vet. They may go off their feed for a day or to if there is a sudden change in the environment. But if it is not environmental watch carefully and if it last more than a day I would seek help immediate. Remember you do not buy a winner you feed a winner, and I do not think feeding inferior feed is how you are going to do that. Hope all works out well for you. [/QUOTE]
