I had a heifer that was scratched or poked in the eye and it watered like crazy for a few days. She's a cute little bugger. Are you working her towards putting her in with your herd?
Well... Dang...Jeanne - Simme Valley":8infps25 said:You have to be real careful switching from recommended sub-Q shot (under the skin) to intramuscular (in the butt). May not work as well - or could have reactions?? I am not sure what it might do. Just keep that in mind for the future. Under the skin makes the drug work much slower - longer lasting. In the muscle can cause tissue damage (not usually enough to notice unless it is a ready to butcher steer), and it absorbs into the system much faster.
The ear I'm not as upset at as I am the fact she can't eat right now... I don't understand what's going on with her and it's upsetting...M-5":13r4c11e said:Ear will be fine . Don't beat yourself up.
I had a thought about frostbite being the culprit after I read up some stuff online. Poor cow. Still looked painful.Jeanne - Simme Valley":3gx6ukqi said:The ear is nothing to be concerned with. She may have had a little frost bite and it is now sloughing off. NBD.
Hope she eats better today. Keep in mind, she may need the Thiamine again??? (stumbling)
Have you gotten a thermometer yet? take her temp. High temp will make them not want to eat and can be weak (stumbling). Just buy a cheap human one if you need to. Or go to the house & use yours.
I'm trying not to freak out as hard as I normally would. Mira survived almost dying twice and a seizure... I know she's tougher than she looks. I just feel bad that I might have made her hurt. But like you said, try to let it run it's course... I just worry mostly that she won't / can't swem to drink her milk and her eyes look terrible... But I'm gonna try to stay calm... Thanks lol. I'm easily jumpy if you have t noticed.M-5":3b6fe8p0 said:Liz draxxin can have some side effects. Head shaking , salivating, breathing problems , most likely because of the IM injection. I realize you overly concerned but try to just let it run it's course. Things should be better tomorrow try not to stress.
