Hos temp is good,, I would keep an eye on it since he has a cough and runny nose...B complex is a good idea as well as some probios

If he is chewing a cud..then rumen is functioning..be sure its not him grinding his teeth and not chewing a cud...spend a few minutes watching him...temp him with green leaves

If he is anemic, his mouth will be pale...is that what you mean?

I would give daily B complex
red cell 6 cc per 100# double day one, reg. dose for a week then once a week until color returns
Vit B 12 high protien feed, alfalfa and green leaves to help him rebuild red blood cells
Mix 50/50 ACV and water and drench 20 cc daily to speed recovery

If he has not been wormed with a good wormer,,, Ivomec plus or Valbazen are both good choices..

Take his temp as well.coughing could be lung worms, a cold, allergies, dust from hay or feed...

sounds like his rumen is having trouble, good advise given... .. If you have probios give that too..I would be doseing him with C D Antitoxin if you have it too..NO Grain, until he is 100% its hard to digest when the rumen is off...

have you taken his temp?
