    hi all. some advise please. have a bull 18month old. that is really shook, he had naval infection that kept flaring up last year, but thought he improved over the winter. put on some condition. he is out over a month and seems to be gone back more, little or no condition on him.
    so suppose question I have is, what to do with him, he isn't goin to come to much, but don't want him suffering either. so vet recons that infecton would have gotten in to blood and weakened valves around heart. he has gotten several treatments.
    are there someone who would buy him, or should I get him put down, or leave him keep going. he doesn't seem to be in pain, eats away. but no condition, grass seems to be going straight through him.
    any help appreciated.
    thanks,

    If he is free of antibiotics and fit to travel you could ring factory agent.
    Sometimes add on done deal looking for cull animals .
    He might not make much but it would be better than a total loss.

    We had one like that last year
    Vet said he'd die
    He's huge now and in full health, imagine that?

    My advice is to dose him for fluke and worms,put him alone on good grass,meal feed him and let him recover

    Don't spend anymore on medicine
