One of our kids is shivering?
4 kids born Feb 9 - 5 1/2 weeks old. They've been disbudded 2/19 and have had both rounds of CD&T. They've had one round of Coccid prevent, and should start the 2nd round today. Yesterday, we banded the 3 boys and everyone's 'package' looks ok - no redness or swelling. All are dam raised, with the mom's all day and in a kid pen at night. All are eating in the pasture with moms, nibbling hay and picking at grower pelleted feed.
Today, one boy is having some periodic shivering. Temp is 102.8, taken twice this morning so it's steady. He's up and around, no other apparent signs. He runs with the others, eyes look good, no telltale signs of diarrhea, no hunching, no teeth grinding. I gave him 5ml goat drench and held him on my lap for a while. The shivering seems to come and go.
I'm going to watch him this morning, but wondering if this could be a normal reaction to the banding or does this sound like the start of something else.
Also, not sure if I should add the coccid prevent to his system today or hold off a day to see if anything develops.
Ideas?
