Cow in CRITICAL condition, please HELP!

[mahesh]

Dear Reader,

My cow suddenly fell down 3 days back and the night she fell she was still eating grass but after that day she has just been lying down with her legs stretched and stretching her neck, she did not have any health issues in the past but after that incident her temperature had gone down as low as 98 degree Fahrenheit. Now after the intervention of the vet her temperature is 100.5 degree Fahrenheit but still she has been lying down in the same way. Please advice as I am really worried and it seems she will not make it....

DNS & Glucose has been given by the vet but there is no activity from the cow, its just at times that she moves her legs but nothing more. Please suggest some medicines if possible.

Thanks in advance as you might just save her life...

Medicines already given:
1. glucose 50mg
2. b1, b6, b12
3. berrynil 4gm
4. dextramethasone 5ml
5. ponophosphone 15 ml
6. avil 15 ml
7. oxitetracycline 40ml
8. ketoprophin 15ml

do what your vet says and don't ask people from all over the world on the computer

Did the vet say what was wrong with her? Stroke or a heart attack maybe.

A lead deficiency like that should be solved instantaneously.

Although unlikely it may be tetanas ( I know that isnt spelled right?) I think you may just have to buck up and let her go and put her down.

A lead deficiency like that should be solved instantaneously.

that was my first thought that she was lead deficient and the largest dose you could give her would provide instant results

Lights out. :nod:

A lead deficiency like that should be solved instantaneously.

Never heard it put quite that way. But I have seen the condition.

Here is your help: You got livestock - sooner or later you will have deadstock.

Part of the business - nothing more.

You have done the vet trick and that is good. It did not work.

Time to move on.

I will be plain and blunt - I am one who would have shot her long ago

Go and do the right thing - sooner rather than later.

Or watch her suffer - choice is yours.

Sorry about your losses. The cow and the money spent to the vet.

do what your vet says and don't ask people from all over the world on the computer

I Disagree---Vets are people, just like us with, supposedly, more education. Experience is the BEST teacher, and there is a LOT of experience on this Board !!!!!!! :wave:

But at least the vet hasd layed eyes on her, that's more then any of the people on here have done.

Did she get sick before or after the vet got there? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

How old is the cow?

 

[S&WSigma40VEShooter]

I would give her a lead innoculation between the eyes.
