[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 4372606, member: 63856"] He was in the paddock we moved the wire for our wee pet calves, when you were over. Third day in there, I was moving them out when I noticed him way at the back, on the wrong side of the creek... so all I can think of is either he's picked up something out of the rubbish hole (unlikely to really, and no plastic goes in there) or perhaps as the vet said over the phone - it can be an infection of the nerves around the rumen? He seems ok now, after my agricultural vet surgery :nailbiting: (still waiting for some grief about stabbing him) and a decent shot of bovipen; he wanted a drink straight away and probably drank 6 litres, and then straight into some grass :cool: I have him and 2 mates in the nextdoor paddock so I can keep a close eye on him tomorrow - will give him more AB to be on the safe side if he does have an internal infection. Normally I'm pretty good with preventing bloat because I've had to deal with lots, esp on the organic farm. Bottle of speights works a treat for collapsing frothy bloat- which this wasn't. Have him a litre of oil first up and then gave his belly a rock. That's when I could hear the sound of free-gas bloat, things happened a bit quick to not get the knife out :eek: [/QUOTE]
