[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1115583, member: 19938"] Wisteria, Beautiful barn!!! I really love it! Looks like you are keeping her comfy! Is she able to stand at all? (I think that you said she walks to water?) Get the probios for her. It will help her to not have diarrhea. It is probably not a good idea to make any big changes to her feed, just increase the grain slowly. Is your area selenium deficient? Do you give Muse or Bose injections? If they are deficient, it will help with the muscle weakness. I give it at birth to the calves also. Vit A and D shot also works wonders. Perks them right up. I think the cow and the calf would both benefit from these. I would give to the cow now, and the calf at birth. Discloser- My area and feed are entirely different from yours, so please run it by your vet first. But should be safe. I think that she may surprise you when the calf is born. The extra weight will be off her legs! I know that you were "not looking for advice," But it appears that you really love your cow, so I am just trying to come up with ideas that might help you and her make it through this. :D Nes, you and your girls are awesome! :D [/QUOTE]
