[QUOTE="docgraybull, post: 73491, member: 885"] We had one several years ago with the same type problem. I lifted her twice per day with the hip huggers, gave her some grain to eat and water to drink while standing, and kept hay out for her. She never seemed to suffer or thrash about, just couldn't get up. It was labor intensive in the dead of winter. After 30 days, gave up and shot her. My dad had a similar case two winters ago. He grained and watered her once daily for about 22 days. No lifting, no hay, no turning. She scooted around and ate what grass she could get to. He went out one day to feed her and she was gone! She was up grazing with the herd. He's always been lucky though! You've got to consider all the information and advice, and make your own decision of what's best - and then be confident in that decision, and not look back, question it, or wonder what if......?
