I am assuming he has something respiratory going on and needs to be treated with antibiotics right away. Get the Duramycin powder down at the feed store. Put a teaspoon per gallon in the water every morning using fresh water. Add about 1/8 teaspoon cherry Jello to offset the bitter taste of the antibiotic. Do this for the length of time it says which is probably at least 7 days. Make sure it's his only source of water. Note that the stuff is not very stable that's why it needs to be changed every day. It turns the water red at the end of 24 hours so don't freak. You should start noticing improvement after 2-3 days. If not you might need a plan B which is....? Keep us informed. On the other hand, since it's been going on for awhile, the treatment may be longer and the results a little more gradual.
