[QUOTE="plbcattle, post: 49804, member: 171"] you might want to check to see if it is dallas grass poisoning. I lost a cow and a calf to it a couple of weeks ago. the vet who came and fixed a prolapse cow for me a couple days ago said he just treated a whole herd that had it. 15 died and about 50 were sick. he said it had been 10 years since he had seen it. Look at your grass if it is tall and teh seed heads will be black with mold. the cows I had with it acted the same way you are refering to. they all got better with time exept for the 1 cow. the calf died because her mother had it when she calved and she never took her calf and it died. we bottle fed it and even had a $400 vet bill trying to keep her alive. She was out of one of my best donors(that;s how it always goes)Im not saying thats what your cow has but it sounds real famillar. Good luck [/QUOTE]
