[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 1173322, member: 4674"] I have cow that has an injury on the backbone near where the pelvic attaches. No indication of what may have caused it. I think a tree trunk may have caused this injury I did find one about 8 inches in dia where the cows hang out. Had the vet out Saturday. Pumped her with steroids. And we moved her to the shade. She drags herself around with the front legs with the back legs dragging behind her No feeling in the legs at all hotshot does not affect them at all. She eats and drinks what ever I bring to her. What would any of you do keep bringing water and feed when there seems no improvement at all. Would it be more humane to shoot her or keep hauling the feed and water. I can set her up with legs under her and within 30 minutes she has tried to move with the legs dragging behind her. If you have ever seen a dog drag across the ground on their belly then this is how the cow is moving around. Vet did not give much hope for her. [/QUOTE]
