[QUOTE="feelnrite, post: 273912, member: 3482"] I had a 5 year old cow last year get down and stayed down 3 weeks and got up. I took good care of her though and she ate good and drank good. Had a calf about 4 months old and it nursed her laying down. I saw her before she got down and she would start trembling and go down. After a rest she would get up again for a short period until she was just down. She had a bruised nerve I think and could have been from the bull or who knows. I still have her and is an intelligent cow. She made sure she was in the shade the last time she was up and would rock over for the calf to nurse her. As she went along she would get up and move a short piece at almost a running walk trying to get to the next shade and go down. Her legs would be bent and she would be all bent down but would be up. I fed her twice a day and was not going to give up cause she was determined not to. I think her trouble was in her lower back somewhere. Good luck with her. Dont really know if the vet will help that much other than send you a bill. [/QUOTE]
