Persistent cold and cough

[Nanno]

Well, the jury's still out on whether this tonic is worth what I paid for it since Snickers is still a bit wheezy and snotty and still has a little cough. But at the same time, there's no doubt that he's noticeably improved. I wonder if it's gotten him over the hump and if another round of Draxxin might actually knock it out this time. The boys are going to the vet on Wednesday to be relieved of their manhood, so I'll discuss this chronic illness with him then.

I wonder if being wethered will help too. The rut seems to be pretty hard on these guys even when they're not breeding. Finn lost a ton of weight and quit growing the whole time the girls were penned next door. Now that I've moved the girls, Finn is shooting up again and has a much better appetite. I imagine the same stress is probably contributing to Snickers' ongoing crud, so maybe his body will heal better without the raging hormones.
