I was wondering if anyone could help me out with my sick wether, Bailey B.
He has had trouble with scouring for a long time. We have sent in numerous fecal samples in the past, all negative. However, The vet will never tell us egg count or what parasites were present, just Positive and negative. We have since found much better vets. He was doing better for a long time however lately he has been having more scouring. Tomorrow i hope to get a fecal sample in, but because it's a holiday weekend i'm not sure if i can. He is scouring pretty bad today and he sounds a bit congested. His temp was 102.6 and i am going to keep checking to make sure he doesn't develop a fever. I generally take him on a walk around the yard every day, and today he didn't really want to. He always wants to go on a walk so it worries me that he did not. He has some nasal discharge going on, and he sounds a big congested. He is acting okay now, he is eating his hay good. Earlier he seemed a little depressed. I gave him some probios. I could give him some pepto, but i'm not sure if i should.
If anyone has any advice i'd appreciate it.
I know he isn't extremely sick but hes my baby so i want to take care of it before it gets worse.
