Either trust the opinion of your neighbors or get a vet's diagnosis of foundering. If it is indeed foundering, and big enough to butcher- do it. If it makes a recovery, it is likely to founder again before reaching market weight. My experience- had 2-3 founder from a couple decades of raising dairy steers from 70 cow herd. Keep feeding it, watch it die- how many bucks do you lose? One vet visit will determine if it's pneumonia or ? Spend 50 bucks for an accurate diagnosis, and go from there. Foundering? Butcher it if big enough- then at least you have the meat.
