[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 12855"] Your cow has brisket edema. This can be from low albumin--heavy parasites, liver failure, toxins--or heart failure. With the breathing you're describing, I'd pick the heart. She may have hardware disease (picked up a nail and it perforated etc) or valvular disease, cardiomyopathy or sarcocystis...lots of reasons. Hardware may respond to a magnet in the reticulum and penicillin, but NO guarantees. The others need specialized treatment but she will probably die. Just a question--where the heck do you live that the nearest large animal vet is 300 miles away??? Good Luck! V [/QUOTE]
