[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 951934, member: 5106"] Not too impressed with your vet Donna, I do IV's on down cows all the time. That is when they need them the most be it calcium or dextrose so a little confused as to why she cannot find the neck vein or the milk vein when there are 2 options ; also blood work can be drawn form the tail with a vacuumed tube. Well I am going to say something a little different as Donna said the cow is down not "splayed" . Does your cow "scoot" around at all ? If she does then leave her for now ,you do not want to risk losing the calf for no good reason. Give her food water and yes if she will eat some grain give it to her as well at this point BW is a mute point . Also see if you can get some electrolytes down her ,an empty wine bottle works great just make sure you don not get it between her back teeth so she cannot chomp down on it . Was a temp taken and did the "vet" administer any meds like banamine ? I am thinking that the calf is backwards or you have twins in there. [/QUOTE]
