Possible RI

What are your temps?

cleobr2000 Dec 02, 2009 09:43 PM

80-85

Id say maybe too big of a meal. It does sound like he may have an RI though.

Wouldn't hurt to have him checked out at the vet.

Ever ran a fecal?

Thats the thing with Bloods and Short Tails man, you can't play around, at least in my experience.

Best of luck to you man.

It's always worth it to have a culture done if he is sick. That way you'll know what antibiotics work best and not have to mess around with aditional cycles.
