[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 585376, member: 5106"] When I have an animal down that I cannot find a reason for I usually like to give them an IV cocktail of Dextrose and if they are not bred it is with Dex. If they do not get up right away after their IV then I call a vet. Fortunately most get up and you can evaluate the situation further to rule out injury . BTW it is becoming more and more common that people can not find a vet no matter where they live. Or a[b] good cow vet[/b]. We need more cow vets and something needs to be done as an incentive for people to want to practice large animal medicine besides horses. [/QUOTE]
