[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 764090, member: 7795"] Angie I'd say you have it right and from the description of pasture I'd put bloat above tetany. I meant to point to tetnay if bloat were ruled out (pretty good stretch with a lot of clover). I've never heard of anyone around here having a case of grass tetnay so it may be more of a possibility than a probability. I'm not taking the time to research this much, so here is a quick search on causes of grass tetnay. "Factors which have been associated with this disease include low levels of magnesium (Mg) andhigh protein and potassium levels in the forage." [url=http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pdffiles/DS/DS13700.pdf]http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pdffiles/DS/DS13700.pdf[/url] Grass tetany is relatively rare among cattle grazing pastures that contain a high percentage of legumes such as clover or alfalfa, because these forages typically contain more magnesium than grasses.
