[QUOTE="Putangitangi, post: 1115740, member: 5956"] How often do vets give Ca before calving? I thought it was a big no-no. If you interrupt their internal calcium mobilization, they are more prone to milk fever? Magnesium is more important because it allows efficient Ca mobilization from their own stores in bone and cells, is how I understand it. If you get a live calf, it'll be interesting to see whether you can get it to overcome what is probably some serious stress at this stage. [/QUOTE]
