[QUOTE="ohiosteve, post: 1113917, member: 17303"] I didn't catch your other thread but here's what I would do. Give her at least one 500 ml. bottle of 50% dextrose solution I.V. I would give her 2. If you don't know how to give an I.V. have the vet out and have him (or her) walk you through it. It is very easy on a down animal. It will cost you about $4.00 a bottle and there is no withhold. It is amazing the boost of energy they get from this and I have personally saved a number of downed cows with this simple advice. Give her a bottle and wait a few minutes then encourage her to get up. I am assuming you got the uterus back in. [/QUOTE]
