[QUOTE="Jaidee, post: 480858, member: 7521"] Thanks for the reply!! I bought Booboo when he was 4 months old, in August. He got all of his shots (vet did them when he was casterated) in October. He ate all his food tonight. I tried to get him in the barn, in a stall, but he was not cooperative :( , and I was afraid that he might slip and fall, so rather than risk him hurting himself to get away from us, I offered him his grain and his hay. I got this batch of feed, and it looks like they mixed more molassas in it, so put some of my horses oats/soybean 14% mix in it to dilute the molassas (horses dont get any), and he ate it up. He did not breathe hard (although I certainly was) when I was trying to get him in the barn. I did not hear him cough at all. But after he ate, he laid down again. He got up again about 30 minutes later, and ate his hay. At night, he gets one flake of third cut alfalfa, and three flakes of first cut tim/orchard grass hay. During the day he is on a round bale, tim/orchard grass, and has his grain in the morning too. Taking his temp will be like tempting death. I cannot get near to him, and he would certainly be against me violating him :o . Hopefully, he will not go any worse....will call vet on Wednesday morning first thing unless he gets worse, then will call tomorrow. He is drinking his water right now, am still worried about his back fentlocks....but he was moving ok when running me all over the pen trying to chase him in the barn!!! I wonder if he slipped on the ice and hurt himself? Oh yeah, I did see him trying to lick or scratch his right flank a few times today, It looked like my horse did when he had a mild colic episode. My horse vet does not do cows....the vet I took him to for his casteration does not come out to my house, I would have to take him there, and I have a 2 horse trailer. The last time they had to tranq him just to get him so that he didnt hurt them. I didnt want to make him a pet, but I guess if I do this again, will halter break the silly thing incase of injury or illness. Live and learn. Thanks again, Merry Christmas! [/QUOTE]
