[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1848308, member: 24027"] I agree with hardware as a strong possibility. Coronary artery disease: think of little old ladies with their feet bulging out of their shoes. I've had my share of hardware and now every cow, retained heifer & bull gets a magnet as a prevention. That said, hardware can also be caused by a shard of glass, PVC pipe, long thorns like honey locust, sharp rocks, etc. Usual symptoms can include swollen brisket, swollen feet, loss of condition, laying on her sternum for better air flow, labored breathing, manure gets dark & hard, may or may not have a temp, loss of appetite, sometimes drooling. Your vet can check her heart & lungs and may pinch along her back for a reaction (she'll runch up). [/QUOTE]
