[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 1359953, member: 7398"] I didn't - sadly. I didn't know. I spoke with my vet before putting her down and he didn't mention milk fever or trying to treat with calcium - presumably because he wasn't inclined to suspect milk fever in a straight bred beefer 4 days after calving. She was suffering something fierce by that point - or so it seemed to me. Ugh. Perhaps it would have made the difference. You never know. After the autopsy, the vet said that - with this size of her heart - any calcium would have done her in as that, evidently, is a key to heart failure as well. Still, it would have been worth as shot as she's dead now either way..... I hate losing one out of my own ignorance. Been at this closing in having raised cattle for 20 years now - you'd think eventually you'd know all the ways a cow can die..... [/QUOTE]
