[QUOTE="born2run, post: 388589, member: 2498"] Fresh under 20 days, not sure how many DIM exactly. She walked into the parlor, was milked by my partner, than went down 3 times before exiting. Fast resps, 104 temp, ears cold. Begged her to get up :P and managed to get her into the sick pen. Tried contacting the herd manager with no success, gave her a shot of Banamine, and tried to go back to milking. It continued to bother me that she back there in that condition though. Attempted an IV of just Dextrose and B complex, but I haven't did that enough to be beyond "trained." :roll: By this time she was struggling for breath, bleeding out of her nose, and I was keenly aware she was dying. Never seen one go this fast, and I felt helpess. Within an hour of leaving the parlor she was dead. All I seen was that the herd manager gave her Dexamethasone, Banamine, and Polyflex on the 30th. Any clues why she died so fast? I have a hard time not holding myself personally responsible for her death, even though I'm told that there is nothing I could've did to save her. I keep thinking "what if." [/QUOTE]
