[QUOTE="Little Cow, post: 1593369, member: 5507"] Okay. Wow, what a day. Fiona is recovered and back in the stall next to Ursa. They can see and nuzzle, but not nurse. She had necrotic tissue inside that quarter, which was causing the recurrent fevers. She did well during surgery and the surgeon was quite pleased with the results. The culture is still pending, but they gave her a second dose of Exceed (first one was on Monday night). If the culture shows something different, we'll get another antibiotic to go home with her on Sunday. She will be in the horse barn, because it's cleaner. The baby will be on the other side of a gate, just outside of her stall. In about a week, this massive bandage that was glued on will come off. Our vet will come out and sedate her to get it off. We have straws from two outstanding bulls, so no need to worry about her being bred. She is a great auntie already to any little calf. Our other two breeding cows will be able to continue to enjoy her attention to them and their future calves. She has always been the rock of the herd. Two month old Ursa is adorable and very friendly. Our son and I waited in the stall with her when Fiona was off for surgery. We pet her, let her suckle our fingers and lick us, and sang to her when she got restless (it worked; she went to sleep). She is going to be a neat cow when she grows up. Not any other cow would have gotten this treatment, but Fiona is family. She made a lot of friends at the hospital because of her gentleness and cooperation. [/QUOTE]
