[QUOTE="chippie, post: 1034521, member: 5644"] Good point. What puzzled me is that it appears that she can't chew her cud. A cow does very little chewing when it is grazing or eating grain. When it grazes, it wraps it's tongue around the grass and tears it off by pulling it against it's bottom incisors, it sort of rolls it around and swallows it. When a cow eats grain, it just scarfs it down. It does not chew like a horse. That is why I suggested a visual examination. She may have something stuck in a nook or cranny that causes pain when she chews and makes her drool. Of course we weren't there and did not see what the vet actually did. A cow with a left displaced abomasum will lose it's appetite, will not try to chew it's cud and may have diarrhea. [/QUOTE]
