[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1780738, member: 24027"] Take his temperature! And then do it again later. Sounds like one of my bulls a few years ago. No snotty nose, no coughing or droopy ears and his temp was normal. But something just wasn't right and I kept him in the barn overnight, made an appointment to take him in the next morning. By that time, his temp was 105 and he had raging pneumonia. Vet pumped him full of Draxxin & Banamine and I babied him along in the barn for 6 more days. Fortunately, he made a full recovery, and he was my favorite bull. While you have him in the chute, check his mouth to rule out any sores, abscesses, anything out of the ordinary. And as Ken mentioned, check his gums. Should be a nice, healthy pink. White or jaundice is an indicator of anaplasmosis. And just for fun, check out his feet to make sure he doesn't need a trim. If his manure looks good and he isn't bloated, I wouldn't worry about the additional tubs, molasses & cubes. [/QUOTE]
