[QUOTE="Kathleen, post: 76215, member: 1465"] Thanks so much for all the replies. By the way, I am a dairy farmer, but I guess you all won't hold that against me!! We lifted her again this a.m. and had surprisingly good results. She was actually able to stand on all four legs for a few minutes before she laid back down again. I was pretty encouraged--not good to get too encouraged though. I was wondering about the length of time that the nerve is pinched...I was afraid to do the lifting thing too soon but we did an awful lot of rolling, let me tell you. Now she is at the point where she will roll herself. If she stays down I guess the nerve stays pinched...is that it? My other problem with her is one you guys probably don't have, but which has to be solved, and that is ketosis. That can keep a cow with good legs from getting up. I've had three or four cows with pinched nerves before and they have all recovered, but I am beginning to understand that they all don't recover. This one is a particularly nice heifer. Anyway, thanks so much for your input. This is the first time I've joined a forum; I was just feeling so lonely with my problem... [/QUOTE]
