[QUOTE="raykour, post: 1014240, member: 16801"] Thanks Lauralees farm. I have started her on the propylene glycol. I was told you can mix it into the feed. Seriously? That stuff tastes awful and I am doubtful that heifer will come anywhere near me when I walk out there with it in the morning. I gave her 8 ounces as indicated on the container. Our cows eat an all forage diet, but I started her on some sweet mix (COB, and I don't think it would matter if it was wet or dry, she pretty much eats anything you put in front of her) This cow is a good percentage jersey with a little holstein mixed in but due to the drought last year in Colorado we are also feeding very high dairy quality type alfalfa hay. I didn't know if there was some tip or trick I was missing in my reading. I don't need a vet as long as the cow is up and eating. I can do the IV dextrose myself also, except as I have found out recently both dextrose and bicarb are in short supply around here too.....not just at the vet supply but also at the hospital!
