[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 573081, member: 5106"] Katie the fact that your cow has no appetite I am guessing that she probably does not have Johnes. Usually Johnes cows have an excellent appetite but nothing is absorbed into their system because of the disease, the brain is tricked into thinking that the intestines have absorbed all the nutrition they need from the feed so the animal releases it with out any absorption. That is why it is so hard to diagnose usually until it is too late because your cow is eating like a pig but still losing wait ,also the average age of asymptomatic Johnes cow is around 6 or 7. Good luck and let us know what the vet finds. [/QUOTE]
