We actually had an older cow like that. She would "moo" all of the time. The vet looked at her , nothing wrong. We thought she may be going senile. How we finally got her to stop was we put her back in the field with her 7 year old daughter and she was fine again. Good Luck!

Thank you Milkmaid and Bull Lady, I appreciate your kind words and support! BTW, Milkmaid, we still do not have a def. diagnosis on her, but I really want to find something out.

Paulette, Thank you for your reply. Your post really helped. I do believe the calf gave her the will to get better. It was funny, the first day the calf was out she was head butting the cow( I thought she was annoyed) and then after that they just bonded. I am so glad we left the calf with...

Hi Guys, Wanted to give you an update on our cow. She is up and walking. In fact , I think it was a calf that helped her. Soon after she was down (one of the calves that we raise, not hers) got out of it's pen and starting hanging out with her. Just as we were going to put the calf up, she...

[Milkmaid, She took a couple of steps today. She looks like she is almost back to normal spirit wise. She does not appear to be in any pain. She is eating Rye hay as we speak. I printed out your list and I am going to go over it with the vet tomorrow. Gmn, Sorry I did not respond sooner, she...

Milkmaid, Thank You so much for that! I am going to print it out. A vet came out to see her yesterday. She appears to be def. in salt and B-1. He really could not find anything else wrong with her. He also gave her a Methaline Blue (sp?) in the neck. He was impressed with the way she stood by...

Bez, First of all, I very realistic when it comes to these animals. Yes, I am doing this for me , but it is also for her. I do not want to let her down if this is a simple mineral def. She is doing alright right now. She is eating fine and in good spirits. The 2nd vet advised me to give her...

Sarah, Thank you for your kind words and thoughtful reply. I just read your thread. I am so sorry that you lost your cow. I know how rough it can be. You are in my thoughts.

Sarah, I am so sorry about the passing of your beloved cow.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I really appreciate it ....

I am on to my 3rd vet. I am picking up a paste today with MG, Ph, Postassium etc. Bez, She is a pet... I owe her this much. How do you put the a money value on a pet. She is in good spirits and gets lifted up several times a day. If I had good vet care , this would not be an issue. BTW, when...

Vicky, I talked to the second vet. I asked him, could it be mineral etc. and he said that if my other cows are not showing signs, then it is highly doubtful. I am very frustrated. I asked about pulling blood and he said he would have to ship it off to lab the and it would take about a week...

No , she is dry and been that way for awhile. We preg. checked her yesterday. She is not pregnant... Thanks for the Reply.... : )

Vicky, You hit the nail on the head! My husband is disgusted with the Vets here. He literally ( the vet) said he did not know what it was! My husband says let's do what we have to do to get a determination on what it could be. They don't seem to won't to be bothered with it. That is why I...

She has only been down since last night. We cave her some calcium this morning.( she is not preg, or calved so we know it is not milk fever. The blood has stopped from her nose. I think it may have been from the stress of being moved around) She appears to be feeling better now. She is eating...

Hi, I have a Holstein cow that is down. 2 days ago she came in the yard and stumbled and fell or layed down and she would not get up. The vet came out. We lifted her and she stood fine. He gave her DEX, Banamine, LA 200, B-12 , wormed her again, etc. Her temp. is normal. The vet did not know...

Dun, Is that a "Banana Spider"? That is so wierd I have one of those on my gate right now and it scares me. What can you tell me about them? kat

That is wonderful! I raise Holstein calves and I think you are doing a great job.

I started to wonder about our bull even though he is supposed to be calving ease. He is an embryo transplant bull that we waited a long time to get. The good news is that one of my second calf heifers had her baby with no problem.. just spit him out. He looks just like his father. We sell our...
