[QUOTE="colleen, post: 1098562, member: 13004"] First thing this morning: calf running around tail straight up, mom grunting at it. One side definitely been sucked. Side that she was limping on, not sucked. She isn't limping this morning but her front quarter is big(not sucked) but not unnaturally large for a cow that has just had a calf. the front teat has a black scab? on it. Looks like tar. The teat and the quarter Is not red. Slightly pink. I sprayed some salty warm water on it thru the back door of the shop while she ate some feed for a good while, hoping it was just sheet. LOL. She seemed to enjoy it. Then she walked off. Still not limping. We really do not want to put her in the chute if we don't have to, since the calf is definitely nursing. She is so dang ornery. If it was one of our gentler cows, I would, but I'm thinking, one more day. If it looks worse tomorrow then we will chute her up and get that scab off and milk that quarter. Maybe the calf will get on it and get that scab off and get it going! One can hope! Wouldn't the baby have had to suck on that teat to make that scab up?? It goes up on the side also. Thanks.
