We sedated one of our 2 year old bucks this evening to flush out an
abscess on his upper lip. After he was down, I went out to start working on him and noticed some blood dripping from his rectum.....maybe 1 Tablespoon tops. It was coagulated and bright red. He looked slightly bloated to me so I got him up sternal.....still drained and flushed the abscess, then gave him 2cc Banamine, 6cc LA 200 and reversed him......was he bleeding internally?
Vet says maybe just so toxic from the infection. But he's only had the lump for 2 days. We used a little 1 cc dart in the hind.....could we've hit an artery?
What else causes internal bleeding? ugh...don't say TB.
I just reversed him a few minutes ago so I'll have to wait to check on him.
