Well, four days since I found the cow with 106.5 temp and two rock solid quarters. She's still with us. Temp this am was 103 so trending down about a degree a day I guess. Still comes looking for her calf. Maybe she wasn't "toxic" yet and just suffering the fever from the mastitis itself?
I don't think her two good quarters are milking now as she has quit eating and isn't drinking much. I penned him up last night and he drank a gallon or so of dilute milk replacer out of a bucket.
Any idea if her "working quarters" will milk again if she pulls through and starts eating? She has a 30 day withdrawal period from the antibiotics and banamine so I have to wait a month to take her to slaughter anyway...
