[QUOTE="Roblob, post: 658621, member: 11737"] Update. The vet gave me Nuflor plus an appitie enhancer but I was unable to administer either as the Oxytetracyline took hold & I was no longer able to handle her. I kept her penned up making sure she had enough to eat & drink. When She made it apparent she was ready to join the rest of the herd she did. All seems to be well. I had wondered about wooden tongue & worn teeth also.
