[QUOTE="donnaIL, post: 952157, member: 37"] First off I should clarify, the vet did not really push the bloodwork and when she couldn't do the IV, I didn't go there. I talked to my husband and we do not think there is anything wrong with the cow except a pinched nerve or something going on with the calf. We are not going to have blood drawn and am going to see what happens in the next few day. I went to the vets office and rented the hip lifters and talked to the vet. She said that her findings from the exam were that the cow was not bloating and does not have acidosis. She thought the cow got her self in a position trying to have the calf and cannot get up. She said it could be a pinched nerve or perhaps the cow got injured by the bull or another cow. Without bloodwork she could not tell if there was a calcium deficiency or not. My neighbors rolled the cow, she rolled back to her previous position within a couple of hours. She is scootting around 5-6 feet at a time. I took her hay and she ate 3 or 4 mouthfuls full, I would like to see her eat more. There is a calf watering bowl that she can drink from laying down and she is drinking. She is not stressed and it looks like she was getting her whole body off the ground today, but did not have that little extra to get into the standing position. She is under a shade tree..and a couple hours of the day I expect she will have some sun on her but otherwise it is a protected area. Her eyes are bright and ears are perked up. I am going to bring her hay,grain and water for a few days --neighbor will roll her, then I will decide what to do. Thank you all for you input and advise. I will keep you up to date. [/QUOTE]
