[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1006802, member: 17767"] Put her in a chute and put a halter on her. Winch her head to the side and tie it off on the front of the chute. Put on leather gloves. If you stick a piece of stiff hose in the side of her mouth, she will open it like a gagging reaction. Cows do not have upper incisors like a horse but you know that. I would check for an object lodged in the gum line along her teeth or between her teeth. I shot a Rocky Mtn goat in your Tobacco Root Range near Bozeman. It had a stick lodged in the upper jaw along the molar gum line. It had absessed and when I cleaned up the skull, I saw that the bone had been resorbed around the two molars at the site of the absess. The goat was an old one with 7 1/2 horns. But he would never have made it through the winter. I doubt that your cow is suffering from missing teeth. If there is something wrong, more likely an injury or foreign body. BTW, I see that same green foam when the cows are eating hay. Some hay seems to produce more. [/QUOTE]
