First time I have seen it.

I had a vet examine her and he had no real diagnosis. He gave her shots of Dexamethasene and Lasix. I doctored her 2 more times with the same shots I got from him. Also wormed her and gave shot of Multimin and LA300. One of those rare things things that happen to cattle sometimes I suppose.

Update on cow. She got to the point of not being able to stand a few days after my last post and I had to put her down. Swelling around her eyes at the end. Thanks for the previous replies.

Look into using Bifenthrin for the ticks.

She would not make it through the sale barn at this point. If she recovers enough to go I will haul her.

Valbazen drench and Ivomec Plus rotated.

She gets fluked yearly. No bottle jaw.

I don't see anything about cows getting elephantias. I agree maybe something with the heart.

First time I've seen it in my many years of cattle raising. I will post if I get new info. Not looking good for recovery at this point.

Thanks for the reply. She is home raised on my place. Has had all her vaccines. Vet seemed to think a blood test would not help. I am going to try to talk to the Vet again tomorrow to see if he has any more suggestions. Like I said, she has never been in real good condition since I got her...

This is a 5 yr old cow I raised. Last year she was cripple on her front foot. Foot was swollen and got better after LA300 shot, stopped her limping. This winter I noticed 3 of her legs were swelling and she started limping. I had a vet examine her, and didn't really find anything, checked her...

I pulled a cow out of a gully once and she had a broken back leg. I never knew if it broke when I pulled her out or if she broke it trying to cross the gully. I had to put her down. I wouldn't give much hope for your cow making it, especially if she was old.

This calf was born 1/26/09. Yesterday afternoon I found her laying down. I went up to her and got her to stand. She walked a few feet and laid back down.She was breathing heavy and seemed to be bloated some. I got the vet to come out at about 8 PM and he said he thought it was pneumonia. He...

http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/timeline/tick.htm This tells about tick fever eradication.

Down here they called them dipping vats. They had to dip all the cattle to kill the ticks spreading tick fever.

Your best bet is probably to load him up and take him to the sale. If you're not sure, have a vet give you his opinion on his chances of recovery. A vet told me that putting him in a chute and running water from a hose on the hurt area for a few minutes a day can help.

I'm sure it was, just trying to point out it is not a 100 year old quack remedy.

The two Colorado State veternarians were Dr R W Phillips and Dr L D Lewis.

This is from a paper I saved from 1992. I have never used this recipe. Two Colorado State University vets have developed a treatment for calf scours that uses ingredients found in most kitchens. The formula supplies all the immediate nutrient and electrollyte needs of the diarrheic calf. The...
