[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 158691, member: 852"] I don't think the cow necessarily ate yesterday evening. Re-read the posts. Fed the cows, yes, but did that particular cow eat? The way I read it is only that the cow was not caught in the fence 45 minutes prior. I've seen dairy cows come in the barn for the morning milking, be milked, and be down with milk fever within 10 hours. Looked fine before, but after being milked and having so much milk - calcium - depleted, they go down fast. The cow Patti asked about had calved 3 days prior, and that's about the time calves really get going and nursing well. I'd guess that's what did it. 'Course, that's just an internet opinion, not having seen the cow, but I'm still guessing it's milk fever. Patti, has the vet been out to see the cow? what's he say? update us please ;-) [/QUOTE]
