    Uniprim powder

    I have an cow that has a dislocated hip. She also has an infected foot. We have had her on antibiotics and banamine, but nothing has helped. I think we will have to put her down. I was reading the literature that came with this antibiotic and it says for horses, and not to use on horses that are...

    hip problem

    Do you actually take cows that have their uterus hanging out in the back? The cow would be in so much pain. I had rather shoot her myself and I have never killed any animal except mice and snakes. I would never put an animal through that. I would never take any animal that is unable to walk...

    hip problem

    I would never take her to the sale. Someone told me that a cow here in my town had been taken to the sale with her uterus hanging out. I cannot believe anyone would do that. That person needed something done to them. I was thinking before the vet came that maybe the humane thing to do would be...

    hip problem

    Well, I ask the vet about putting her down and he said to give her a chance. She is eating well, and like I said, she has no problem getting up. She is stiff in the morning, but in the afternoon, she can move around pretty good in the barn. Sometimes she will barely drag one foot. I think we...

    hip problem

    Thanks for all the replies. Here is the update. The vet said that the hip is dislocated. She seems to get up without a problem. Walking still is hard for her. The vet said to keep her in the barn till the grass comes in. Then she will not have a reason to walk very far. He said to give her a...

    hip problem

    Yes, I carry her water 2 times a day, and I feed her some grain and hay everyday too. I just got back from checking on her, and she has walked further today, but it is too far to the barn. She has probably walked twice as far as she has gotten in 5 days. I have the other cows in another field...

    hip problem

    Here is the update. The vet gave me Banamine for her. 3 shots for 3 days. Today, she will get the 3rd shot. She is standing a little more, but still is not able to walk more than 6-8 steps at a time. She only moves about 25 feet a day. She is still standing like on her tiptoes on one leg. She...

    hip problem

    Thanks so much Angie2. I will go by the vets office tomorrow and discuss her with him. I didn't think that the antibiotics would help. My farm manager tried it, but I was thinking that the anti-inflammation drugs would be better.

    hip problem

    How could I get her up to the barn? Try to get her into the cattle trailer? She could not walk that far to the barn.

    hip problem

    I am fairly new to the cattle business and I need some help please. A cow has been injured from being bred by a bull. She is having problems walking. When she gets up, she is favoring her right leg, and when she does step, she is dragging that leg and trying not to put any weight on it. She has...
