Two days ago our 8 year old cow that is close to calfing was on a slight hill and couldn't get her feet underneath her to be able to get up. Well, we wrestled her around and got her on even ground and sitting upright so that she could get up....well, no coaxing or shocker or anything would get her up. Later in the afternoon had a fella come with a bobcat and he very carefully raised her up and when she got her footing she was up on her own and she did walk and stand and walk some more. She was up well over an hour before she laid down. She hasn't been up since. Had the Vet come yesterday and gave her 2 bottles of the calcium as he thinks she is calcium deficient. She hasn't gotten up yet. She looks good and eating good and does move her legs. Any ideas? Our thinking is as long as she is eating and looking good not to "write" her off yet, maybe when she has the calf she will get up or she may never get up...anyone have any thoughts on this. Thanks
