[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 438067, member: 852"] It's not neccessarily Johnes just because the cow has diarrhea... even though that is the first thing that comes to people's minds. There are three assumptions you can make with the cow in question... 1) she's not absorbing fluids or feed, 2) her rumen is not working, and 3) if you don't get her stopped up soon, her rumen may quit working like it's supposed to and you may not be able to get it "started" again. Get a temp on her, see if she's running a fever. A uterine or systemic infection will often cause diarrhea. If she's on grain or a rich alfalfa diet, you may want to consider putting her on stemmy, coarse hay to try to stimulate her rumen. Probiotics would be a good idea too. [/QUOTE]
