I have 2 month old with clear snotty nose and soft poo no cough is still eating & drinking haven't taken temp yet as my dog ate my thermometer last night so have to go get new one today any suggestions of what I should do for him this am

 

[happybleats]

Give him a shot of B complex ..that should help kick start his day : ) Then On your way to town to get a new thermometer, my as well grab some fresh poo and drop it off at the vet for a fecal, include cocci...and the get a temp on him..

Soft poo can be too much graze,grain..new food adjustment..grazing on wet pasture, worms or cocci..

Snotty nose can be the start of puenomia, allergies or a cold...

Great thx his poo is dark brown and smelly I am treating for cocci since I had a baby with last week but the snotty nose through me no one else has runny nose at all I do how ever have 3 does that started coughing a couple days ago no temps or anything else they weather here has been do hot and humid I was giving them a couple days see if it is just weather now today it is cold so I will probably have a bunch of sick ones this yr is driving me crazy

smelly dark brown scream cocci...treatment is a good idea

weather change can bring on upper respiratory infection..tylan 200 is a good over the counter choice..1 cc per 25# every 12 hours..I wouldn't wait until you see fever in this case...fever can spike and drop and if you check temps during a drop it could be too late..its the only time I would suggest antibiotics with out fever....coughing and snotty nose weather change, can =URI
