Help Please!!! Shipping Fever???

160goldstar · Oct 4, 2010

We moved a buck last Saturday and was in perfect health. Today he is looking sick,he lays around and his ears are drooped. We had nine inches of rain last thursday too

.Could this be shipping fever or could it be from all the rain. If it is shipping fever how can i treat it??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you dart him? If so, it could be the effect of the drug ...wearing out..

WhaT meds did you give him when you moved him?

We didn't give him anything. He had anlter infection three week ago and we almost lost him,but he pulled through.We had really dosed him with meds that time.What should i give him?

If you can get him in a chute, I'd give him nuflor, bananine, b12, and a bag of fluids. I wouldn't put him to sleep unless he has alot of energy. Doesn't sound like he does. Might just be pnuemonia. Just my 2 cents

I would try Draxxin if you suspect pneumonia, it stays in their system for a longer time

My guess is Capture Myopathy And the Antler infection.

My guess is with Billie. I lost a yearling a few weeks ago to capture myapathy also. He had drooped ears and some slobbering going on. I think he got tangled in the fence for a bit b/c I has some broken fasteners on a couple consecutive posts.
