9 year old Shorthorn. She calved 2.5 weeks ago. No issues. Calf got pneumonia , but we've dealt with that and she's fine. Problem is the cow started going down hill about a week after calving. She went off feed and wasn't drinking much. Last monday, I decided to worm her, to see if that would help. Well on Wednesday I noticed her eyes were "rolling back" and her third eye brow coming up. Took her to vet he kept her overnight. He figures she had a reaction to the Ivermectrin. (my dose was correct and the bottle was not out of date and kept at appropriate temp). He also found a uterine infection. Gave her LA200.a steroid, penicilin and inserted some antibiotics into the uterus. Sent me home with penicilin. He also gave her a tetanus shot just in case.
Well, she's no better and I think we're gonna lose her. Any thoughts on this one? She"s not eating or drinking at all. I have seen her urinate today and her poop has been a little hard. She moves around a bit. I have tried everything, sweet feed and oats. Its like she wants it but, she just cant eat it.
