[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 669400, member: 968"] Could a cow with a twisted stomach live for several MONTHS??? Cow can get Johnes as a calf and never show any sign of it for years (but passing on the bacteria). Generally, it only shows up after a stress. Like a first calf heifer calving. That is usually the first time Johnes will show up. And, if it's a herd with good management, it may be a light case & she "clears' up & acts & performs fine. But, she still has it & is still passing it on. They are NEVER cured. Since this cow has been degrading for months, Johnes is a strong possibility. They ususally starve to death - or more precise, get so weak they get respiratory problems & die. [/QUOTE]
