[QUOTE="ohiosteve, post: 1113936, member: 17303"] I'll let someone else suggest what to do about nerve damage, but the first thing I do every time for a down cow is IV a bottle or 2 of dextrose (not to be confused with dexamethasone). A really good vet gave me this advice years ago. No withhold and cheap it can only help. The burst of energy it gives them is amazing and even with other problems they might have, just getting them up and eating some good hay and drinking really helps them physically and mentally.
