[QUOTE="Linda K., post: 485281, member: 7576"] We lost two cows recently. Both had no signs of any health issues. The first one we found bloated and took to the vet. He ran a hose down her throat to try to flush her but we lost her within a few hours. The most recent one was a very healthy limosine--she dropped in her tracks and was so bloated within a couple of hours of the last time she was seen and didn't even look like a cow--more like a huge pig. We also just lost two calves and don't know the cause. The first one was about 5 months--found laid out, having convulsions and died within a few days. Then just last week we had what looked like a perfectly healthy newborn who was nursing and walking around, found laid out on the cold ground (had just been seen about 5 hours before doing fine). She was having involuntary movements --neck pulled back, legs galloping but could not get up, rapid movement of the eyes. We moved her inside and warmed her up in the evening. She continued to gallop and convulse for about 5 hours and then got still. From the neck up though she kept drawing back and eyes moving and ears and nose twitching. The next morning she started trying to nurse a bottle, became more energetic, had a severe convulsion and died. We are losing way too many animals and can't figure out why. HELP! The local vet does not have a clue. Thanks [/QUOTE]
