[QUOTE="grubbie, post: 497761, member: 5478"] I'm no vet, and I am certainly not arguing with yours. But, it seems strange to me for this cow to have this condition (basically grass tetany?) before she has her calf. Usually found in lactating cows. Possible, I suppose. No matter what it is,...I certainly wouldn't put a cow down that was eating, drinking, and looking good. If she doesn't appear to be suffering, give her every chance. She might suprise you. I've had them down for a week after giving them magnesium, one morning you wake up and they are wandering around again. If possible keep giving her some mag while she is down. Like I said, I'm no vet, Just speaking from my own experience. Keep us posted though, we all could learn something. [/QUOTE]
