[QUOTE="dun, post: 28767, member: 34"] We had a heifer that calved after letting all of the other calves nurse. She let her calf nurse once then would push it away, sometimes rather roughly, whenever it tried to nurse. We ran her in the chute and the claf nursed just fine, but seemed to really have to work to get the milk. We did that for a couple of feedings until I finally decided to check and see what was going on. No mastitis, my first suspicion, just terrible edema that only allowed very small amounts of milk to get through. Gave her a shot of Lasix(sp) in the evengin, the next morning another shot. At noon I went out to do something and there stood the heifer feeding her calf as if she had been doing it for years. We turned her out with the rest of the cows. The calf has gained 98 lbs in 27 days. The moral of all this is, there may be a reason the heifer doesn't want the calf to nurse. If it persists, check the udder. In 40+ years this is the first time I've seen edema that bad or that held on for so long. dun [/QUOTE]
