We have a 7 year old Angus that isn't eating much, has lost some condition the past two days and is restless (will sit down then back up 10 minutes later) so we penned her up in the barn pasture last night. As the boys were walking her to the barn at dusk is was almost as if she couldn't see very well. We found some Johnson grass in the far corner of the pasture she was in and we have had frost the past couple nights but from what I have read she wouldn't have made it thru the night if it was Prussic poisoning. (We also moved all of the other cows out of that pasture once we noticed it and they all have good condition and healthy appetites) She isn's staggering or anything like that just simply walking with no direction. She is drinking (and peeing) and taking mineral but the only manure I could find this morning was 2 clumps about the size of a Danish and they were both pretty hard (not firm, but hard). I am waiting for the vet to open this morning then will call for them to come out but wanted to see what you all thought. Thanks
