[QUOTE="Putangitangi, post: 1089077, member: 5956"] After the heifer started grazing on her knees yesterday, I got the vet out to see her today. He put pain-detecting pincers on a hoof to see if he could find out where she hurt. As I suspected, there is no pain in her feet. She walks on any surface without discrimination and dislikes a stone under her foot only as much as any other animal. There's something much more general going on. She checks out as normal in every respect, but we've taken blood to see what might be detected. She's had a shot of Metacam to see if that eases her discomfort. If not, we're wondering if there's something neurological going on. So far, six hours on, there's little change. [/QUOTE]
