[QUOTE="monday123, post: 842803, member: 16880"] I have a first time heifer that had a hard delivery with big bull calf.Calf didn't make it. Now cow has been down since May 15th.We had given her calcium and oxycotin immidiately so she wouldn't throw her bed out. She didn't. We have given her steriods everyday for nerve damage. She eats good drinks good. Used the tractor for 3 wks to get her up.Then with a "little encourgement" she would then get up but wouldnt walk. She reinjured a hip recently by going down funny. She can stand as long as 1 hr to as little as 10 min. Her knees are swollen now. so its getting painful. We have been bedding her on hay. She doesnt have good balance and doesn't take any steps unless the hip locks are on her. I heard about an old remedy of digging post holes and setting her in them. ANy advice...please. OR how to set in the post holes??? [/QUOTE]
