[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 63743, member: 852"] Wow - I didn't know that. Learn something new every day. =) Thanks, Vicky! I've seen quite a few cows down with milk fever lately at the dairy where I work. Only one of them went down before calving, we gave her calcium orally and lifted her with the tractor. She was up for a little while, then went down again and started calving. Calf was coming out hindfeet first, had to be pulled. Treated cow again the following morning, lifted her up, and she's been fine ever since. According to the articles I've read on milk fever - I studied it out of idle curiousity - it can occur before or after calving, sometimes up to several weeks before or after. [/QUOTE]
