She has been picked up this morning. I wasn't sure whether she'd still be alive and she wasn't, she had probably gone in the night. I am very upset and I also know that we shouldn't get too attached to animals but the affection built up over time.
Thanks
She has been unable to get up today and has only drank water. My partner has arranged to have her picked up tomorrow and I am upset about it because she was very special to me and I always looked forward to seeing her. I've known her for 15 years.
I'm wondering if there is something else that I can give her that would help instead of antibiotics. Would human aspirin be any good? How do I administer it if I can't open the cow's mouth? I'm not sure my partner would help with this because he wanted her to go at the first sign of illness...
It isn't something that I could manage to do and my partner won't do it because he didn't want to keep the cow anyway. Thing is, she's always been a good cow and I thought she deserved attention and treatment.
Thanks
Hi bird dog,
Yes, she is actually 18 years old. My partner won't get a vet out for her, so in that case I can't get any antibiotics for her. She is drinking water and my partner says that he saw her pooping small amounts today but I've tried hand feeding her today and she chews the hay but...
Yes, she's actually 18 years old. My partner won't get a vet out so I can't really get antibiotics for her. The on!y thing I can say is that she is drinking water.
Thanks
Hi,
I am really having problems with knowing what to do about a cow that started showing symptoms of a nasal discharge with blood in it. She stopped eating but was walking around the fields ok and even bossing the others as she always has done. I rang the vet to get an idea of what he thought...
