[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 635409, member: 852"] Fitz - milk fever is a loss of calcium in the blood stream around the time of calving with a high mortality rate if it's not treated. Ketosis is a lack of glucose (sugar) in the blood; basically where feed input is lower than milk output + maintanance. Fatty liver usually goes along with ketosis as both are common in overconditioned cows and excess fat around the liver prevents the cow from correctly dealing with low glucose levels. All common in older dairy cattle, less common in heifers and beef cattle. Msscamp, you could try being nicer; we'd all appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
