[QUOTE="Paulette, post: 202235, member: 3673"] Hi. Well, our cow did well eating and drinking but stayed on her chest, only squirming around. She kept getting her back legs stretched out behind her and not tucked in as they should be. Always a bad sign. We'd lift her everyday but after a couple of minutes trying to stand on her front feet she'd flop head down. She never could get one leg to hold her in the back so we think it was unable to. We were going to give her a fighting chance because miracles do happen. We had to save her again one morning when we found her on her side and bloating but we got her on her chest and she expelled lots of air through her mouth and started eating again. But in the middle of the night on the sixth day she got on her side again after squirming trying to get up, we supposed, and we didn't get to her in time and she died. The dirt around her told the story. She tried hard for a long time. We were going to give her lots of time (lifting her everday) as long as she was eating and drinking and staying on her chest. We figured it took us only a half hour a day to care for her and we looked at her many times as we passed by her, checking on her, so it was worth it. But it's still a hard thing to lose a cow who tries so hard and who can't understand why her body won't work. Heck dang. [/QUOTE]
