[QUOTE="Smith1000, post: 187374, member: 3526"] Last Wednesday, had a cow (hereford) prolapse when calving. Calf died. This would have been her first calf. Vet stitched her up, but her rear legs are still paralyzed. I moved her to the barn Friday. Have been lifting her daily with the tractor bucket and a makeshift sling. Have her on antibiotics and ibuprofen. Have kept her propped up for the most part. She seems to be healing up some. When raised up, she will get her front legs under her. She can feel pain in the rear legs. One leg seems worse. She will occasionally move the legs, but just can't seem to get them going. She is eating good and drinking lots of water. When raised, she drains a lot. This seems to help her quite a bit. Guess I'll keep her going for a couple of weeks to see if her legs come back. Any advice or anything I should give her? Someone said to give her a vitamin B shot. Seems like that nerve should regenerate after awhile. [/QUOTE]
