Watery Mouth in Bull

farmer2018 · 02-11-2025 05:18PM #1

I have a two year old charlaois bull with a watery mouth with a year, when chewing his cud there is alot of water dripping and a water stain under mouth. I've treated him for timber tongue, acidosis, ulcers and nothing has eliminated it, given him multiple injections and powders. Bull is thriving well and in good form. It's quite noticeable now at the moment with the wet grass especially. Any suggestions what could I do? I will be selling him for breeding.

Tried them before

Would people still sell him away and say nothing as it's not effecting him in anyway?

Do you have any calves from him yet? If this issue is hereditary, you could be giving yourself a bad name by selling him for breeding.

No calves from him. I am thinking it could be genetic. Ya I don't want to go selling him and buyer comes back to me

I'd say fatten him. He'll make good money hanging up.

Would he have some nerve damage from a hard calving or had listeriosis at some point.

TTry feeding him hay an see if it makes any difference

Get the vet to have a look, could be something simple.

Could he be undershirt or overshot?

Tried numerous injections and powders nothing solved it

Who's going to buy a drooling bull for breeding, what are you expecting to get for him?

farmer2018 · 05-11-2025 09:26AM

Has anyone ever seen this problem? I will not sell him if it can't be cured

Yes, but did you get a vets opinion.

Yes I did, treated him for a few different things and they didn't solve it

whelan2 · 05-11-2025 11:50AM

Did The vet actually examine him

Yes and he couldn't say what it was as he didn't know. Tried him on stomach powder and treated sore in mouth. I treated him for timber tongue too during the summer
