I wanted to give an update, on Thursday when I got home from work the calf seemed to be doing much better nibbling on hay and standing, went ahead and gave him some electroyles and watched him. By Friday he was up and playing with all the other calves, eating hay drinking lots more of the elctroylet water, I watched him and by sat he was normal I canceled the vet app and decided to watch. Sat and Sun he did well acting normal, eating and playing walking well. We may not be out of the woods yet but looks like we took a great turn. Thanks for the advise, and please if you only have something rude to say and you dont have experience with this kind of thing/with cattle and you tell me to just DIG A GRAVE just dont comment on the post then, its EXTREMELY RUDE and makes people more upset about there situation!

I already called a vet but they cant get out here till sat thats why i posted the question to get through until sat

I have a 6 month old longhorn steer, he has been completely normal until 4 days ago, he keeps laying down more often, when its feeding time he will stand by his mother and take a few bites of hay but then nothing and lays down, he will go out to pasture with the rest of the cattle but lays down, no limping, when he does stand up he stretches out a lot and I have not seen him stool at all, he keeps lifting his tail like he is going to but never does. I thought possible scours, but there is no diarrhea. Other than that he is acting normal, he looks normal. Any thoughts? I have thought about moving him into a pen tonight and giving him some electrolytes but not sure if that will help.
Thank you
