[QUOTE="Alan, post: 967207, member: 378"] I'll throw in my :2cents: , obviously sounds like the cow is on the way out, that's a no brainier. But it sounds like shes's getting stronger with feed, so how to get fluids to her. If you can get your hands on some fluids, my guess is 5 to 7 thousand ml's. Again obviuosly a Vet is the best answer, but if someone can hit the jugular I would go with a glucose solution, the glucose will give her more energy. If you have to go sub-Q stay away from glucose, my vet told me if you use glucose sub-q the animal has a very good chance of sloughing her skin at the fluid site. Go with LRS or sodium chloride. Some injection of Vit B complex may help also. Just my :2cents: , good luck. But it sounds bad, backhoe bad. Alan [/QUOTE]
