Mega looks a little off today.. she didn't come running for food... So I was wondering, what are the chances she would still have a twin considering the placenta was delivered promptly?

She is just like her momma.. sooo easy to work.. I did it with no head gate, no chute, not even treats to keep her busy
Can you smell her urine? I had a bladder-infected cow here and her urine smelt strongly of ammonia and made the grass go slippery and dark very quickly where she'd been. Don't know if you have grass now? ;-)Nesikep":20udsjj2 said:Well. shes still off.. eats a little bit, lays down a lot, still has occasional contractions... I'll take her temp tomorrow and see if she's running a fever (doesn't really feel like she's hot, but she's acting like it).. I did see her still chewing cud today. I'd like to stay away from LA200 if I can because of the really long milk withdrawal time.
She's also still got an unevenness in her walk, seems like her right hind leg is either a bit weak or hurts.. pinched nerve? I'm leary of giving dexamethasone if she's still fighting an infection (decreases immune system)
Thinking maybe a bladder infection rather than uterine? I did see her urinate but not the usual flow.
No grass here yet.. it's just barely starting... I haven't noticed any ammonia smell... right now a lot of the urine actually smells kinda sweetPutangitangi":2qjl8met said:Can you smell her urine?
