[QUOTE="Anguscattle, post: 919893, member: 18475"] Last Friday I noticed a cow that had calved 3 weeks ago limping, just slighty on her back feet. By Saturday she was much worse. She layed around a lot and it took her a little extra effort to get up. Honestly, I didnt have the time to pull her up and check her so I postponed it until Sunday. By Sunday her back legs were like boards, no flexibility at all. And she was constantly picking her right front foot up. Once I got her into the chute I saw that she had footrot in her left front foot. ( the only foot she wasnt limping on.) I asked a vet and he thought it was tetanus, but she had none of the signs of tetanus other than lameness. He then thought magnesium defeciency, but she wasnt really showing those signs either, and we provide free choice mineral. So at the end of the day we just decided to treat the footrot. Today (Wednesday) she is still giving to her right front and trying not to put weight on it. It isnt swollen and i checked it again today and there are no wounds, cuts, scrapes, nails, glass etc. I cant see anything wrong with it. She has regained flexibility in her back legs and is walking normal there. The swelling is going down in her foot with footrot. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this? And if not, feel free to post your experiences with footrot. [/QUOTE]
