[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1115754, member: 19938"] Ca is sometimes given to down cows with milk fever or to help prevent milk fever [b]prior[/b] to calving. When calcium stores go into producing milk, their Ca blood levels can be depleted. Ca also helps to strengthen muscle contraction. It works particularly well with uterine contractions. When my dog was in labor, and time would lapse between puppies, I would give her a tums with calcium and contractions would start again. Dogs, cattle, and women can get "milk fever" from low blood Ca levels. In women it is called Eclampsia. :D Mag is important to prevent Grass Tetany. [/QUOTE]
