[QUOTE="Byrdy, post: 591809, member: 8905"] The blood tests came back finally. The white blood cell count was a little low, but everything else seemed okay so now I guess we are back to the viral infection and not bacterial - so listeriosis has been ruled out. The vet is now back to the possiblity that it is acidosis after all. We came to this conclusion at first because I was increasing his grain too fast it seems. He responded to the bloat release almost right away. I don't know too much about the acidosis either. Does anyone have any good resources to read? He is drinking but not eating unless I actually put the grass in his mouth for him then he will chew and eat it. He moos a lot and is kind of uncoordinated I guess you can say. I have him on Probios twice a day and the antibiotics. When will he start eating on his own again? It's not fun to hand feed a steer but I'll do what I have to. [/QUOTE]
