I just went out to check on a calving heifer. It's almost midnight. A yearling heifer in the next pen, who was fine an hour ago, it in difficulty with her breathing, mouth open and foamy. It is almost like a cud has gone the wrong way. She had a similar episode about a month ago, without the mouth open, just very rapid breathing. At that time I took her temp and gave her a shot of LA, but as she had been fine before and was fine soon after, I figured the other (bossy) heifer in the pen had hurt her.
This heifer is in fine shape, no other issues. During the winter they undid a (sisal) twine that was holding the water bucket, and I didnt find it and was worried someone had eaten it.
Any ideas, anyone??
