Hello
We have a 3 year old cow whos health is going down. She was fine, her calf and her were separated, one day she got back into the pasture with the calf, 2 days later she is drained and we once again remove her from the calf (old enough to wean)(thinking the calf has taken to much from her) she has lost weight, drooling excessively and acting depressed. no fever and her appeitite is fine. We are thinking maybe plant poisioning or dehydration, she has been like this for about a week now. She moves alot slower too and is often seen laying down. Any help would be great
 
Is she grinding her teeth?
I had a young cow early this spring with a young calf that was losing weight and slowing down but would still eat cubes and hay but one day she was down and grinding her teeth so I hauled her to the vet.When I got there she couldn't even stand up and after examining her the vet said she had cancer and he couldn't do anything for her so I brought her back home and put her down.
 
Can you get her in and check her mouth? Maybe her teething went amuck or she has a thorn or something in her mouth? "drooling excessively"

I would invest in a vet call for her. Young cow, just raised one calf successfully, if the vet can turn her around it should more than pay you back over her career.
 
Called a vet out to look at her last night. Im glad we did.....by the time he got there she did have a fever 105. I was so shocked at that as we have been monitoring her all week. He "thinks" its some kind of viral infection which is common in cows, i cant remember what he called it. Anyways he gave her two shots and told us to keep an eye on her. she is still eating well so thats one thing shes got going for her. Said she should improve in about two days. Believe it or not it only costs us 36.00 to have him come look at her. Will keep you posted, thanks everyone

Roxann,
Did he happen to mention if he thought it was a respiratory, digestive or other area viral infection ?

SL
 
Respiratory I believe. He wasnt concerned about the rest of the herd either so it must not be contagious
 
Make sure they are getting plenty of loose mineral. Immediate thought for me is mineral deficiency. Those mineral blocks are 97 percent salt. Cows need mineral.
