    She was rolled over onto it, then scooted the rest of the way.

    Heifer down after stillborn calf

    Hey guys..I figured I'd update this one last time.. Unless she for some reason drastically gets worse. She is in a 4000 square foot pen, standing, walking, eating and drinking. Everything is fine except she favors her right leg just a bit... Once she is stronger and I think she can handle being...

    Lazy M, I told my wife if she gets in the pond again we might as well shoot her.

    No, just covered her face with a towel. I was told she was fine on her ride, and 20 minutes later was standing in the pen eating and drinking.

    Heifer down after stillborn calf

    Update: She was up this morning when we went to feed her and started to take her first steps and move around a little and walking when my wife left 45 minutes later... Because of that my wife wasn't comfortable giving her the Dex shot. I'm going to try to have someone walk her into the other...

    Heifer down after stillborn calf

    Update: This morning she got all the up and stood until my wife left to pick up the kids from school. (She was still standing). My wife is going back afterwards to check on her... I'm scared she is going to try to go to one of the ponds and fall in and drown, but the whole time she was standing...

    Update. She is still eating and drinking fine. She stood up completely for about 2 minutes this morning. Her hoof angle was correct this time. She doesn't like her daily shot of Dex. Hopefully we are getting out of the woods.

    Update The vet came today. She is not prolapsed, and her uterus is healing nicely... However, she has limited feeling in both back legs, and her bladder was very full. She was given calcium iv, Dex, and some other shots. The vet doesn't think she is going to get up, but she still tries, and she...

    She is still eating and drinking, she got a Dex shot this morning and another cmpk drench, the vet is coming tomorrow, I'll have to make a decision then I guess... She is still moving and getting her back legs up but not the front and her back hooves are still not angled correct.

    Heifer down after stillborn calf

    Here's is a pic of her back end taken this afternoon... She will get a shot of Dex tomorrow, I guess it will be better in her back leg or does it matter? The vet is going to look at her on Friday, its a horse vet, but all I got that's close.. She doesn't hold out much hope though. She ate and...
