[QUOTE="SmokeStackFarms, post: 464324, member: 7061"] My 5th ,first-timer heifer, was found Tuesday in a dry creek bed-deep into a dense ticket of briers etc. I had been looking for her to deliver Sunday PM-but when not finding her Monday--by Tuesday --I was worried. She was down--calve had two hoofs/nose and extracted tongue, were sticking out---obviously dead. She was dry and flies were swarming---she had been this way awhile. Neighbor & I pull calf----very large 100lbs+ The heart break is ----she can't get up. Call vet--Tuesday night,he gave her an package of steroids,etc--with another to be given the next PM.(which I did) His diagnosis--damaged pelvic nerve. Maybe swollen or permanently. He said if she doesn't get up soon--then she has no chance. He suggested "[i]hip-huggers[/i]". Problem--no tractor can get to her-and the general response neighbors say these huggers work well in a ideal situation. All I am presently doing is giving her water-feed/hay and a series of shock-prodding. Hoping this get her mad enough &/or stimulate the rear area enough to get her up.(like a TINGE unit) Also- I am praying and keeping guard from the coyote problem. Help!! Thank you for hearing me thru---to the '[b]ole cow hand[/b]' this seems to be a cataloged circumstance but it is a time that hurts and the sense of helplessness is here. Today she raised her rear for a few moments, with her front folded on the ground----most success seen. Any reasonable hope?? Thank you. [i] :( [/b][/i] [/QUOTE]
