[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9916"] Generally, a cow with hardware usually humps their back UP. If she has never been given a magnet, you can give her one right away just for safety. Some people automatically give all their cattle a magnet. You use a bolus gun, we usually put a little hay in with the magnet because it is slightly smaller than a bolus and it can slip out before you are ready. Just insert in cow same as a bolus. But, dipping her hips down, does sounds like she's in pain. I would call a vet - could be twisted gut or a number of things. He will advise about the magnet.
