sick cow

I have a pregnant cow she is 12 years old she has rapid breathing no discharge from nose or any other problems. I know she is not in labor. She has been like this for 3 days no better or no worse. Thank everyone very much for the help. (she is a brahman)

If the weather is hot and humid or has just turned hot that could be part of the problem. Could be the calf position (if in the third period) restricting the diaphragm

As we get older we don't handle heat and humidity as well as in our younger years. Cows are the same. We had an old cow this year that was almost paralyzed on either the left or right rear for the last week before she calved depending on how the claf was laying. She never had a problem in the past, but she's getting up in years. That's what made me think of the position thing.

> We have an older red angus that does the same thing. She Just now calved, and seems to be breathing heavy still. I think its just age. Shes been heavy breathing for quite awhile. Vet thought pnemonia, but there is no fever or runny nose. So I do think its her age, and shes just going to have to have a little special treatment !!
