Well its monday evening, I think the cow has settled in to a life of having food and water brought to her! She is eating really well, but hasen't gotten up, she has moved around a little. Anything else we should be doing to entise her to get up? Thanks for everyones support!

Hi Everyone, its Saturday, and we have good not great news. The good news is after the 2nd round of shots on Thursday the cow is eating very good, hay and cubes. Drinking a lot, holding her head up by herself! She looks much better today than even last night, hopefully she will get up soon...

Its Friday, a week since the cow has been down. I checked, no fever at this point. Gave her a shot of banamine, b-complex and LA200 yesterday. She has been eating a little bit of cubes last night and today. we turned her on her side for a little while earlier to get all the weight off of her...

He gave her dexamethasone, on monday, can she have another shot today? I have a call into the vet to see if I can go and get a dose of banamine to give her. This is really a novice question, how do I check her temp? And what is normal? Sure trying anything we can to save her. Like I told my...

Well, its Thursday, cow is still alive, still down, she had a lot more energy on Tuesday than she has today. Not drinking much water this morning, not wanting to eat either. We have been moving her 2 or 3 times a day, have her hoofs out from under her but curled like you would find them in a...

Daily update, she seems to be holding her own. Drinking, eating some, the herd went and visited her last night, maybe they slept close to her? She is trying to move her hind quarters, but we have her pretty restricted right now to keep her upright.

Last update for today, The vet came today, gave her a anti inflamitory, B complex and electrolites. He said she could make a recover, just a matter of time. We will put in the time, she at about 1lb of 20% cubes this evening, and lots of water. I bet she drank 7 or 8 gallons once we got her...

Boy we have to agree with you on that one, this is the hardest year we have had yet! We have a vet comming out today, I did mention the Banamine to him, so hopefully he brings it with him, we'll see what he has to say. Went and gave her water, she drank on her own today, just had to get the...

Morning Update, went out and checked the cow this morning, still alive, drank some water, we pushed her up so she is on all four legs (almost) and we have a vet comming out to assess her sometime today! I am going out there in a few minutes and fill a bucket with water to see if she can drink...

Thanks for your advise, she is doing "ok" right now, gave her some water, and a little hay dipped in water, put her to bed for the night. We are going to check on her first daylite in the morning, if she's still alive we will call the vet at 8:am and see if we can get someone out here to assess...

Thanks, since this is the first one like this we have dealt with, we don't know all the "signs". I just don't want to prolong her suffering if there's no chance for her to come out of this, but from what everyone is saying, she could pull through. I am not "tubing her" for water, is it ok to...

her eyes seem to be clear right now, what should I "look" for?

No, we have her propped up with a dirt berm behind her. She tries to throw her head back, we have her front 2 feet curled up close to her, but the back 2 are straight out, we keep bending the one, but the one under her we can't get to move. She is like "moaning" when she breathes. I just...

What about the water going into her lungs? I have heard a lot about that, and afraid I may drown her? And your right, we will keep trying as long as she is trying. We go out and put her head up for awhile, give her some water, and talk to her. I know she can't be doing very well, when she...

sounds like its just taking the time to keep her comfortable to see if she can come out of it. She pooped yesterday, and pee'd over night, she's out in the open field so we put a pop up over her to keep her cooler in the sunshine. We'll just keep doing what we're doing, and hopefully she will...

Thanks, we did flip her yesterday, and already today, put up a burm of dirt behind her, is it ok to give her water? She seems to be taking it ok using a small water bottle, little at a time up to a quart every couple of hours. She wouldn't eat any hay this morning. I have given her 30cc of...

Hi Everyone, here we go again. This has not been a good calving season this year at all. We checked the herd the other day, and found a cow down, with a dead calf behind her. She hasen't gotten up since, we have been proping her up, giving her water, she ate a little hay last evening. Question...

Last update, I went to check the calf, she didn't make it. We all tried, and thanks to all of you for your input. Hopefully the rest of calving season won't been this tough!

I have been alternating from milk replacer with dextrose in the form of "sav-A-calf" Electrolytes plus, says it has 50% dextrose along with some other things. As before I am feeding her about a cup/or little more every 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I did give her a B-12 shot. Thanks for your input...

Thanks, It's supposed to warm up today, so I will probably move her to the sunshine later today for awhile. I made a wind break (20mph from the south) for her, and have a couple of towels covering just her body. I'm thinking of giving her a Vitamin B-12 shot, any comments?
