[QUOTE="2/B or not 2/B, post: 816674, member: 7233"] Thanks to those who've offered encouragement and advice. Katherine, good job with yours. Doesn't sound like it was too bad. Our heifer is still down but doing okay I think. She's very alert, eats, drinks and moves around without getting up. She tried to stand at least once today, which I'm told is positive compared to not trying at all. I was able to speak with the vet today and got a bottle of dexamethasone. I really hope it helps. A question on the afterbirth boluses. They are a urea based antiseptic and dosage is 2-4 per day. I've given her 2 per day for 2 days now. I was thinking about continuing for one more day but wasn't sure. She certainly looks swollen and red there, but no foul discharge and the skin isn't hot to the touch or anything. Hard to tell though without being able to see what's going on inside. I should've asked the vet today when I had her on the phone, but I didn't think of it and she's very hard to reach. [/QUOTE]
