[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 141054, member: 852"] Not necessarily. They can be squirting out the back end while filling up with gas until they look like they're going to fly away. Look at him from the rear - (edit; sitting in front of the computer I can't remember which side it is...) if just "one" side is "full" looking, it could just be from the feed in his rumen. Once that gas starts to fill the "other" side too, that's when I get really worried. And feel his sides - does that area in the flank feel soft or is it hard and full of gas? I'm not sure I completely understand the logic behind some people suggesting probiotic on a bloated animal...? I've used therabloat once on a slightly-bloated calf that might have also been fine if I'd left him alone - either way, he was OK when I returned. If he IS [i]really [/i]bloated....well, I lost one in 20 minutes. Follow SD's instructions and tend to your bull. Fast. [/QUOTE]
