[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 62381, member: 852"] Yep - I've seen several cases like that at the dairy where I work. It's usually small heifers with too-big calves, or older cows with milk fever. Last cow that had a problem like that was OK until she slipped and fell down again. Couldn't get her in the barn to be milked for a week and she ended up with severe mastitis. Prolly headed to the salebarn once she gets the antibiotics out of her system. With the limited number of cases I've seen, they'll generally get better unless they have a relapse and fall down again. If it's an older cow with milk fever they're usually fine after being treated. I don't know if beef cows get milk fever very often or not. [/QUOTE]
