[QUOTE="alisonb, post: 1009031, member: 13050"] Should have named this thread "Saving Little Lulu"! Did my rounds late last night and all was fine. Got up this morning with the birds as usual and went to look at Lulu. There she was stretched out flat, bloated, legs stiff, rumen fluid running out her nostrils but breathing - the late stages of Milk Fever. Ran and got a rope, roped her head up a little(roped to nearest post) so it was not totally flat - there was no ways I was going to right her on my own, crew had not arrived yet. Administered calcium borogluconate into milk vein. Her whole body is in tremors, manage to get some packing under and get her head higher, breathing improved. Crew arrived, we curled her legs in and right her - big relief!!! Have just finished IV'ing her with a mix of Dex + more calcium borogluconate, gave her Nuflor in case of pneumonia as she inhaled rumen content into the lungs. She tried to get up but is still too weak, lets hope there is no nerve damage to top this all. Will let you all know. [/QUOTE]
