[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 741365, member: 5106"] Regolith we use cal-mag all the time (well haven't had to in 6 years) as it works the best and fastest IV. I have actually seen a vet kill a cow by administering it too fast. He was a fresh vet and had just started with the practice, lucky us got him sent out for a simple case. I guess they should have taught him that in med school. We also always do it in the milk vein, not the neck and use a stethoscope to monitor the cows heart beat. I do agree with your advice on sub , if this is in fact a milk fever case. But like all that MM has stated and my experience I would look elsewhere first and I would do a dextrose ,b12 and dex IV first before milk fever treatment, however a temp still needs to be taken first.. :) [/QUOTE]
