Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone still has or knows a way to obtain some "Poten-D or Downer-D? These intramuscluar injectable products were made to give calves that buckle in the front knees a way to regain straight front legs. We give a shot of 10cc to the calf if we see that they have trouble walking/standing straight in the front legs. The Vets tell us that it has been discontinued and tell us to use different things but this is the only thing that works. We have been treating calves this way for the past 30 years. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks for your time.

Here is a bit of info that is on the bottle:

POTEN D 1000000IU
DIN: 00170844
Company: ROGAR/STB INC.
Class: VETERINARY
Form: LIQUID
Route: INTRAMUSCULAR
Packaging : 100ML Bottle
Ingredient : VITAMIN D3 /BENZYL ALCOHOL 15mg (preservative)

If you are trying another Vitiman D product are you making sure they are getting the same units? And not just giving them 10cc's because that is what you used with the other product.
