[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 741197, member: 8192"] Animallover, do you have access to a cattle prod? If not, a smart smack or two on the rump with a polystick or something that will give her a noisy surprise, not hurt her. It's the surprise element you're after. Maybe your hubby could do it while you stayed behind the vehicle! I'd have done that before now, you need to assess the level of her mobility. Last year we had one down for two weeks after having ephemeral fever. She lay round as long as we fed and watered her. One little pop from the prod and she got up, very wobbly, but she was up. She needed care until she could walk into the watering point but that was only a couple of days. Somehow I doubt we will be as lucky in the current case, but we can hope. [/QUOTE]
