[QUOTE="Earl Thigpen, post: 528878, member: 3999"] Did I say that. I've read my post again for the third time and I just can't see where I said that. Folks asking for advice (most of the time newbies) for a sick animal after two or three days of watching the animal struggle and when given the advice (maybe wrong advice) they don't know how or where to put a thermometer, have any way of penning the animal, no trailer, no vaccination equipment, no knowledge of where to stick the needle or how to read the amount of medication to use based on animal weight, etc, etc, etc. Many times the advice for curing a sick animal comes way too late. What I'm suggesting is that if you have a sick animal go to a vet. Don't wait two or three days for someone here to give you advice that may or may not be right. Read the intro to this board. The Cattle-Today fathers state very clearly that animal health questions should be directed to a vet - not here. There's some pretty cattle smart folks here but if I had my choice between taking the advice of someoone here and a vet's advice about animal health issues I would choose the vet - anytime. [/QUOTE]
