[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 736214, member: 12607"] There are some heritable neurologic defects/diseases in some breeds, that might cause these sort of signs. Bovine Leukosis Virus (BLV) infection can cause tumors(lymphosarcoma) in the spinal canal which put pressure on the spinal cord. Affected cows exhibit gait abnormality/weakness - usually starting in the rear legs - which gets progressively worse until they go down. Have your vet pull a blood sample and submit to the diagnostic lab for BLV testing - unless he determines that there's something else amiss. [/QUOTE]
