[QUOTE="lilmissfit8, post: 213441, member: 3883"] Update: She is moving around by scooting, has not gotten up yet. We keep fresh water and hay in front of her. She can move the front legs, not the rear. The vet came back last night to take a look. It appears that she has some sort of paralisis, he thinks from the epideral. The placement of the epideral should have only numbed the uterine section, but he thinks that swelling has moved up the spinal cord and caused this. We are thinking it is temp. She is on a good antibiotic, and something for inflamation and swelling. He also gave her some pred last night. We asked about getting her on her feet, he said that as long as we keep moving her from side to side that he wasn't concerned yet about her being down. I'm really hoping that we can have her back up this weekend. On the good side of things, she has a perfect temperature-no fever, the sutures are holding, and everything is looking good from the surgery. She is alert and does look better every day. Seemed to have some feeling back in the area above her rear hooves this morning. Let's hope it is a good sign! Last night he gave her 5 gals of warm water with something called "bovine blue" (like a gatorade for cows) that will help replace her electrolites and put another quart of fluids in thru an IV, I'm hoping this will put some strength back into her. The calf is doing well - this will be #2 that we will be bottle feeding for a while. Keep us in your thoughts and I will post more updates. Thank you all so much! Sheri [/QUOTE]
