Poor Jethro. He's in sick bay. He was fine yesterday. When I went out to do chores this afternoon he was hunched up, shivering and had squirting diarrhea. Took his temp and it's 103.5. Vet had me give him banamine and move him to the kidding room in the milk barn so I can watch him with cameras. He also had me put the other wethers in with him to keep him company. No runny nose, cough or any other symptoms. His fecal last month showed no worms/cocci. Hopefully he just has an upset rumen and it'll straighten itself out. This is no weather to be sick in!
