    2 year old cow had her first calf

    The calf was born dead 1 week ago. The cow is acting a bit sick and seems depressed. She’s drinking and has been eating but I think less than normal. She at times keeps to herself. Yesterday she was in the barn alone. She’s always done that. It’s cooler in there. She’s not crazy wild but I was...

    That is one thing I will never understand. Why the vet doctor world is so far behind in developing. If a human gets sick, almost always they know what it is and how to fix it. A animal, they are clueless.

    For the future, how does one get colostrum to a calf if the cow is not able to give milk? Is there a special feed/milk you can buy somewhere? Lets say Getting it from a diff cow is not an option. What does one do then?

    The main problem now is she does not get up. Today she will not even stand. Not so much she cant, but refuses to. I got her to stand while she was drinking, but otherwise will not. Started to eat more grass today. She actually started eating off the ground like a regular cow. But she keeps...

    Got some calf grower calf starter feed from the feed mill. She would eat it if I put it in her mouth. She eats about anything I put in her mouth. Other wise no interest in eating it.

    They include it in mineral blocks at fleet farm. Its just a small amount, but if that can be in mineral, why cant a feed mill put some in the feed? https://www.fleetfarm.com/search?Ntt=Selenium+

    She might be getting worse. Had her up this morning for a while standing and walked a little. Afternoon she didn't want to keep her back feet up. Her back feet where never a problem before. Maybe she was just to tired from morning therapy. God help her.
