[QUOTE="Wisteria Farms, post: 1116112, member: 6734"] Branguscowgirl, I asked the vet about a pinched nerve and she shook her head "no"... Because she had already examined her when I walked out there (she was preparing the Ca)... I took it that she had checked for that. She DOES have movement in her back legs (that's what's helping her to scoot along...and you can see her "scuffle" marks). I checked her just a minute ago and she is chewing cud (not like a happy chew but like a irritated chew)...her breathing is also slow and a little "grunty" (for lack of a better word). I have SOME cows who sound louder when they're dozing but this is different/softer so I'm going to watch her very close tonight... If I didn't know better, I'd think she might be in early stage labor but her udder hasn't blown out like it usually does... or she just might be half asleep...LOL... We'll probably be taking the calf tomorrow (giving the Dex). I did stand and watch for about 20 minutes and the calf is lively... I can see it moving well...there's just a WHOLE LOTTA BELLY there so I'm even wondering if she might not have twins or a whole LOT of fluid... [/QUOTE]
