[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1498390, member: 18809"] In the dairy industry, this tends to happen to older cows (milk fever). The flush of milk production pulls from the Calcium stores in the body. I have treated many dairy cows, out in the field, with just a calcium dextrose bottle and IV set up. They will just sit there, while you put the needle in the jugular and hold the bottle up until it is done. Some are able to jump up and run by the time the bottle is almost empty. Here is a decent article about it: [url=https://extension.psu.edu/trouble-shooting-milk-fever-and-downer-cow-problems]https://extension.psu.edu/trouble-shoot ... w-problems[/url] [/QUOTE]
