[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 739480, member: 12607"] IV Ca/Mg solution is best treatment for grass/winter tetany; they have low blood magnesium levels - though some cows, especially if they're just before calving or miking heavily in the first couple of months, may also be low on calcium. I've run it IP(intraperitoneally - into the abdominal cavity), but it takes longer to work. I'm still betting on an injury - spinal fracture, 'splits', or a ruptured cruciate ligament - though usually with an ACL rupture, they're still able to get up and around, they're just lame. [/QUOTE]
