All 6 cows have finally returned to normal behavior. Vet is convinced one of the vaccines was the culprit; perhaps it was tainted/contaminated at the manufacturer or had not been kept at the proper temperature at some point (certainly not by us!). Unfortunately, the bottles were burned with...

Pretty sure it isn't a case of anaphylactic shock either since that typically occurs very shortly after injections are given. These cows didn't become noticably lethargic until about 24 hours later and it's continued now for over 5 days with no change. Perhaps I should have emphasized that...

Vet very specifically stated that the wormer would not have caused this reaction. We did work them much later than usual this fall; other things just got in the way. Thanks for the input.

Did fall vaccinations/worming on Sunday and noticed on Monday that all 6 cows are acting very lethargic (walking slowly and a little unsteady; won't run to feed as usual, etc). All are still eating, pooping, peeing normally and are in very good body condition. Never had this happen before and...

LOL!! We're in NE Texas and no, we don't have any dallis grass. But I'd be relieved (and amused) if that were the case here. : )
