    We don't plan on using the cidr. We are only going to a.i about ten. So with the gnrh shot...should we give it when we a.i. or when we bring them in to give them the shot of estroplan(same as estramate)?

    Bull bloated

    Your exactly right idalee. We phoned the vet the first day we seen him..he told us not to bring him in it will stress him way more..he said all he would do in this case is give him mineral oil and bloat ease..and he said we can do that. So we did. Then yesterday we went in to the vet to talk to...

    Bull bloated

    We talked to a vet. So we gave him mineral oil and bloat ease yesterday...this morning he is still bloated. Making him walk around helps take the bloat down..and he passes liquidy manure as long as he is moving. What else or is there anything we can do for him? Thanks
