[QUOTE="CG1, post: 1603608, member: 38577"] My first thought was milk fever but I understood it to happen much sooner. I only have calved a few cows that were at risk of it and the vet had said I would see it in the first bit. I have not heard of it in an Angus but I could be wrong on that. Since she calved so long ago id assume that this is a separate issue. We get lots of foot issues and slow cows this time of year with the weather change (below freezing here today and it came on fast), we also have lots of water. Could it be her feet? foot rot? Some sort of leg issue? I just had a cow with a bad leg issue. Luckily she didn't have a calf on her. She just got better slowly over a week. If she was my cow id offer grain twice a day so I could see her physically get up and walk over to the grain dish. Once she stopped coming, id call the vet. [/QUOTE]
