I agree w/ Dun. Did the vet originally say there were no broken bones? Is her leg swollen or hotter then the other one?

How old is she? Her joints might be hurting, like arthritis. Or she may have a pulled mescle, tendon or something. Do you hear any creaking or crackling when she walks?

I'm very curious to also know why the vet said they can never be in the herd. What do they have and how did the vet come to that conclusion? What tests were run? Thanks!

Never heard of it, what is it supposed to control and how long?

I have heard of older cows having higher titer rates due to late vaccination. I remember hearing about a dairy herd around here a long time ago that was condemed due to this :? I'm not really sure of the whole story but it was back when the state came around and pulled samples for something...

$15 for 1st, $7 for additional head.

Yes, I walked the whole 120 acres they were in and found not hide nor hair or either one untill the calf showed back up in the herd. I searched every neighbors herds also. If they were in a neighbors pasture they could have gotten in to anything I guess. Almost everyone has some sort of a dump...

A couple handfuls topdressed on the hay to get him started since he'd never had any grain before. Should I give another B complex shot and probios tonight? No ideas anyone?

Ok, I've got one that has me stumped. I had a cow and calf disapear from the pasture for 2 weeks. Looked everwhere and in all the neighboring herds. Cow is still missing but the calf showed back up with my herd a week ago. He is quite skinny and lethargic. We walked him into the pens and...

EWWW! I'm supprised the were even eating if their mouths were that bad.

Good for you! You have done a great job of getting this litle guy up and running! I would like to know how he is doing now. I would also like to add...- bull calves are casterated and then called steers. Gelding is the term used for equines. Also, you should not give shots in the rump area...

Good! Now aren't you glad you didn't sel them off as "steers"!

I'm not usually quesy by blood and such but that video turned my stomach. That cow was so calm, quiet and still! Any of ours would have tried to kill him I'm sure. The vet looked so rough too, is that normal? Also is it normal to not remove the fetal membranes from the uterus with a...

I have a broke toe right now - I've been waddling around in flip flops for a week now. :lol2:

Thanks for the replys - I feel better abou thte removal option now. One more question - on the cows with the eye removed - did you notice a difference in the way she acted after the removal? Harder to work them since vision is decreased?

My vet was telling me about options for a cow w/ cancer eye - If it's small enough they can freeze it off or if not in surrounding tissue they can surgically remove the cancer or they have removed the whole eye and sewn the eyelids shut. I have a couple old cows that are starting to get cancer...

What if you put her up in a pen or pasture w/ no acorns for enough time for them to pass through her body? Would she be OK then if she couldn't get any more acorns? or is the damage already done?

Sounds to me like your doing everything right, I think all she needs now is some time.

That really sounds nasty! How would hair get to be in a ball under the skin?

I had one cow (hereford) with it, but it was on the back of the rear leg, between the dewclaws. Looked a lot like that, blackish and crusty. The vet cut it off and it bled worse then anything else I've ever seen on a cow. There was a pool of blood as least a foot in diameter before they got...
