I have a 10.5yr old Angus cow which is having increasingly frequent fits - I know of four so far, the first when her calf was about eight weeks old back in December, the next I saw (with no evidence seen of any in the mean time) three weeks ago, another eight days ago and the last this morning.
A vet has checked her out physically and pronounced her perfectly fit in every other way, all blood levels are within normal range.
Vet is suggesting brain tumour, some other degenerative neurological condition, some storage disorder which is affecting brain function.
Has anyone any experience of this sort of thing?
The cow is in as safe an area as I can keep her, but that doesn't stop her standing near the electric fences and then falling over into, or through, them. I will probably need to do something about her within the next week or two. She's a valuable cow, in a number of ways.
