[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9471"] Could be hardware disease, i.e. metal object picked up while eating and damaging the intestines, toxicity, either a response to minerals or feed that is toxic, or deficency, mineral or nutritional. Bad teeth could cause them to loose condition also, but not that fast unless they completely quit eating. AQ vet call is much cheaper then a dead cow, have this cow posted if/when she dies. Get the vet out now, it may be something that is easily taken care of, or it could be something that will spread through your other cows/animals if not detected and righted now. dunmovin farms > Help!!
