If he's anemic that will make him weak. Keep up the redcell along with everything else you're doing

I hope your Buck rebounds quickly.
Didn't farmerjohn's buck Warrior have meningeal worm? Could that be the problem with your buck?

thanks for the Warrior threads. My guy, Max, seems very similar. He tries to get up, just can't. I'm giving him probios and redcell twice a day now. Just hoping I get as good an outcome as Warrior.
Any more suggestions?

If you think he has menengeal worm like Warrior did you'll have to treat with Ivermectin Plus injectable given orally.

I believe that is what she decided was wrong with Warrior & did the treatment for menengeal worm. It did take him awhile to recover & is doing well now.

dm...I would send Farmerjohn a pm and ask for her phone number. I'm sure she would be more than willing to help you out...
