[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1572778, member: 9096"] There are dextrose IV's you can give, that would be a good short term boost. You think she just laid down and couldn't get back up or could there be more to this? Yeah, kinda hard to tell if they have a leg injury without them standing to begin with. When to give up? I usually say it's when the cow gives up... though my friend had some downer ewes and she took care of them for a month and they finally got up.. I'm patient but I don't think I'm that patient. Last fall I had a 5 month old calf get stuck, dehydrated and hypoxic, I got him back to physical health but he was too dumb to eat or drink... I put him down when I ran out of milk replacer to feed him with. [/QUOTE]
