Hello Alice,

Have you treated for coccidia to see if you get improvement?

I collect sputum by wiring a quart size dairy container snugly to a
halter and then very slowly put it on the donor.
Then, bring in the stud to check behavior.
The sputum needs to be kept warm for viablility of as much of the
goodies in it as possible, so use it immediately.
Mix it with some tepid (100 F) water and use an oral dosing syringe to
administer it to the recipient.

You might consider an illness that requires anitbiotic treatment such as
Leptospirosis as a possibility.

Hi Laura, Thanks for you help. His temp was 100.1 in the evening and 99.1
this morning, but it was quite cold this morning. I am thinking of making a
slurry of rabbit pellets to get some roughage into him and I like you rumen juice
idea. I am giving him MSE probiotics and Peptobismal for the diarrhea. I
checked his fecal for coccidia and saw nothing because that was my guess. I was
wondering if he could have eaten too many oak leaves even though he has pasture,
at least some, and hay free choice at all times. He is out in the sun right now
pretending to graze. He doesn't seem to be chewing and swallowing, just
walking a long nibbling a little. HOpefully the vet will get back to me soon.
Thanks, Alice
