[QUOTE="cowmomma, post: 370122, member: 3153"] Hey guys, I have searched this site but have a bloat that doesn't really fit the pattern. Thought someone out there might have dealt with this. I have a young cow whose calf is about 6 months old. Checking cows one evening two weeks ago and she was bloated. She was the only one out of 25 individuals. But, she was grazing and moving comfortably so I left her till morning. We got her up and called the vet. He said to dry lot her. I did that feeding good hay. A few days later the bloat was down considerably. I was just toying with the idea of rotating out on grass for a couple hours a day when the next PM she was more bloated than ever. No grain, just good hay and water. The companion cow I have with her is fine. I figured the next AM I'd have the vet out but went out at dawn to check her and she was quite a bit better. So, I got a magnet and put down her. She has slowly but surely gone down and seems to be staying down. But, with the bloat gone it is obvious she is quite thin. I have just used a pour on wormer and am going to put her in a paddock that is pretty grazed down and continue with the hay and observation. What is up with her and should I ship her? Thanks!
