[QUOTE="tcolvin, post: 1806938, member: 42820"] I’m no one for much advice but I bought a nice black Angus from a guy close to me. Said he had all the shots he needed 3 months prior to my buying him. In 8 months he was acting the way you say yours is acting. Getting a vet here is next to impossible and for 2 days I called 10 different cat/dog vets. Finally I called my sale barn and they gave me their vets name. This was on a Friday eve when I talk to him and he said it would be Monday morning before he could possibly be hear. He is little over 100 miles from me also. I told him I thought it might be pneumonia but he was supposed to have his shots. He came Monday morning about 11:00am and said it was pneumonia and was very far along. Hr could give a shot of draxson (misspelt) and said if he was alive by 6 o’clock that evening he would likely be ok but he didn’t know it he would make it, Handed me a bill for $290 and drove off. Bull died around 2 pm same day. If you can get a vet to come out, get him on the road. Another thing, don’t take anybodies word on shots if you don’t see it. Like I said I don’t know enough to give advice but can give past experience. I wouldn’t have minded the vet bill if he have lived but it taught me to have a vet as a buddy even if you just have him come out and look, pay him him for his trip, then when you need him, he may respond quicker. Just my 2 cents worth. [/QUOTE]
