[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 395199, member: 539"] David, I'm not brushing you off. There are so many things this could be that it is very difficult to even offer a suggestion. It could be disease, it could be toxic plants, it could be pregnancy related, it could be age related, it could be a thousand things - it's impossible to tell without seeing the cow and knowing her background. Even if someone could offer a suggestion, how do you know it's the right one? You could very well waste time and money doctoring with different things when that isn't the problem to begin with - meanwhile, the cow isn't getting better. The heavy breathing could be pneumonia, but the occasional slinging of her legs could be neurological and the two usually don't go together. On the other hand, the two together could be an indication that she ingested some sort of toxic plant - but which one? Your best bet would be to call your vet. [/QUOTE]
