evening all........
About how long after I give b12 shot should I (hopefully) start seeing some improvemnt ? Also, with the boluses (power pack) .
steer is a droopy and sluggish, no fever, stool is good all appears to be normal except he's just sluggish acting and his eating has stopped, then restarted, now slowing down again.
probias x 4 days last week; bought new feed ( in event I had gotten a bad batch.) So, today gave him the power pk and 2 cc's b12.
also completly changed brand of feed, mixed it down w/ previous feed. Thought on that was- maybe it wasnt pallatable to him anymore.new feed is Purina and he sniffed around it and has been wandering back and forth to the feeder, so ??he is drinking, not overheated fans etc. I have racked my brain and picked the brains of cattle people i know. We're just kind of scratching our heads. he has also been in pasture 9small 1) so he can eat some grass. And he was implanted w/ revlar (sp) about 2 months ago, about 4 wks ago I gave him the cattlemans shot for 5 way ( pnemonia was going around)
It maybe that I've just got one of those steers thats just not going to make it. But, I would like to try anything else that may salvage him. wgt is abt 660,already been tagged in for fair. Just looking for some suggestions. i hope i've included enough info. have a good night everyone..

Also, his hair has become very corse- i cant even explain that. After i get him him eating, thinking I'll put that cholestrol treatment on him (recipe on here) and then go back to vin,kleen sheen and infusium....
