Sick calf...not looking good

Help Support CattleToday:

Ken -- I think that is what is in the antidote for tall larkspur here (the vagus nerve gets paralyzed and they bloat). The old timers used to pack a can of Copenhagen into whatever end of the distressed cow was handiest and let the nicotine do the work.
The old timers here would bleed them and walk them. Preferred place to cut was the vein under the tail. They tell me the blood would be thick and dark to start with.
