[QUOTE="Kathleen, post: 76753, member: 1465"] My vet doesn't talk much....he didn't say why. But if this ever happens again I'll get some dex right away. We lifted the heifer this a.m. and she stood very well all by herself, so we milked her that way. But she is hardly eating at all, so I guess I'll have to go at that problem with everything I can think of. Gave her CMPK this a.m. but am having trouble finding a vein, unfortunately. She won't drink either. If I give her water with electrolytes she will drink that, but only in small amounts. I'm going to get some tetracycline this afternoon and try that; hopefully I can get a vein. Our vet has a long way to come so I end up doing these things all by my lonesome. Except the lifting part--my husband and our hired man are super at that. We don't use a hip lifter; we use a strap under the belly and hoist her that way. It takes some technique but it works well and does very little damage. [/QUOTE]
