[QUOTE="rtarmstrong, post: 49789, member: 735"] I was just wondering is their possibly a oral selenium that can be administred the vet said that it could take 5 to 6 days since the injection was a slow absorbing injection and did not enter into the bloodstream quickly. She is starting to sit up more today. Went outside to check on her about midnight last night and heard this awful mooing in the field, she had somehow managed to get herself to move about 15-20 feet from where we had left her and got herself caught on her backside. So at midnight last night we were trying to move a 150-175 calf that was scared out of her wits, but we did learn the hard way that even though she isn't walking the girl does have on powerful kick to her. She seems to be on a up and down pattern, you'll check on her once and she seems to be full of pep and then sometimes you check on her and she seems worn out. Drank the bottle quickly this morning and does not seem to interested with it tonight (She is only back on the bottle to keep enough liquids in her to keep from dehydrating) I keep hoping that I'll go out and she will be up, only time will tell. And I wait... [/QUOTE]
