I am wondering about a vitamin booster or feed for a dairy cow who calved 5 days ago. She is doing well, but just seems of be somewhat offbeat. He is her first calve and turned out to be very large, given her size at 2 1/2 yrs. I have raised "Elsie" from the bottle at 3 days, so I could just be over protective of her. Her labor really took a toll and her eyes are still red, in fact, we had to pull the calf due to her exhaustion. It took her over an hour to get up and finish cleaning him. We made her get up. She is tending to him like she is supposed to.<p>any ideas? Thanks<br>Thanks

Just about any injectable B vitamin would probably help, or Newcells, Hemo 15 or the like. In my practice, we use an oral paste that is part vitamin, part probiotic/yeast to perk them. Ask your vet what's best!<br>Good Luck<br>V
