There is a better drug for that... Is it Exceed? Something like that... ask your vet. He might recommend a shot of Lute to make her cycle as that really helps to flush out the mess as well. But in all honesty it sounds like she has gone septic and that she may be too far gone to bring back...

"bag of ice up in the vaginal cavity " ??!!?? Oh come on!!!

I had a calf freeze his outer claw. I knew this becasue I saw him sore for a while then one day his outer claw fell off. We did not treat him or bandage it in any way. Actually when the claw fell off he was not as sore because the painful part of the hoof was now off the ground. When we...

Looks like some nerve impingement in the hip area to me. She can seem to put weight on the foot okay, its just swinging the leg forward that seems to hurt a lot, and thats when she swings the leg to the side. The big tip off is early in the video when she takes a miss step and almost collapses...

So how is he now???

Freak thing.

Sorry Jeanne, was just having a little mentalpause.

But Hillsdown, diarhea is not a symptom of 'nervous' coccidiosis.

Hi Hillsdown, Google 'Nervous coccidiosis in baby calves'. Do the symptoms fit? I have been dealing with an odd case of 'something' now and then over the years. There are nervous symptoms like you describe, occasional fevers, and incoordination. Vets have ruled out lead poisoning, polio, and a...

gas gangrene? I imagine there is tissue death under the hide. Seen it on older calves in the feedlot and they can last a long time. I never could get it turned around. Good luck saving that one. Let me know if you find something that works.

listeriosis, rabies, lead poisoning, are a few ideas that come to mind, but literally, there are more than a dozen things that can cause those symptoms. The Mama was bawling becasue she was observing strange behaviour in her calf. Once the calf keeled over she thought he was finally over his...

Sounds like Metritis. Put an OB glove and with lots of lube slide it up her vagina. Take it out and have a whiff. If you fall over it is definately Metritis and she needs veterinary help right away. When a uterus infection goes systemic, she won't always have a temperature, but she will...

PLease take pictures of the surgery. :)

Hi MM, My Father-in-law has one pretty much exactly like that one.... same leg too. We've done nothing to correct it as the calf runs around pellmell on it just the way it is...... and I am afraid that breaking it to straighten it may make it much worse. The 90 degree angle plus the twist seems...

The other option is to take the cow to the vet and have the eye removed, let her raise the calf then ship her in the fall. They will pay for cows with removed eyes as long as she is in good body condition.

I had a calf only suck one side and the otherside just dried up. A day after weaning the active side was huge and the otherside was still shrunk up.

Actually the calf was possibly exposed to tetracycline in utero when the teeth were forming. It happens in humans.

Oh No. Here is my story. Happened this last spring viewtopic.php?f=19&t=45058&p=507621&hilit=ruptured+belly#p507621 viewtopic.php?f=19&t=45058&p=507816&hilit=ruptured+belly#p507816 viewtopic.php?f=19&t=45058&p=508217&hilit=ruptured+belly#p508217...

I had a calf similar to that eons ago. The calf was alive but would just lay there flat. Calf was terribly weak and could not get up on his own, and when helped would crumble after a few seconds. We milked the mother and tubed the calf twice a day for 5 days and then the next day,I found the...

Hi MM. We had our first ever uturine torsion this spring and we have been at this for almost 30 years. In this case the vagina was not included in the twist which stumped the vet until he did a rectal exam and could feel the twist on the other side of the cervix. My cow did have some uterine...
