[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1152141, member: 9096"] Sounds like a rough time, I agree with Regolith... though before you give her the antibiotic, try and get her temperature... It's something I'm always forgetting to do.. If she does have a temp of over 38C, the antibiotics would probably be helpful... I'm a bit confused about which cow is which... The first one sounded like she was going downhill, and then another one had twins, and she's going downhill too? or did the first one just have another calf? If there's retained placenta, I'd say 2 days until a fever sets in (in cold weather) is pretty darned quick, and there may something else. Calves are good at finding shelter... Put up a couple bales of hay with a piece of plywood on top, if possible with the open side toward the sun (if you get any).. and I usually put it just out of reach of the cows with a hot wire about 3' off the ground. They don't need fancy, they just need to be out of wind and rain. [/QUOTE]
