I am new here and have had one mell of a hess trying to figure out what is going on with my cow. Please help if you can.
To start, about november 19 I sent my cow (Rosie, 22 months old, Red Limousine) off to be AI'ed. When she returned she was not looking of feeling well. Was not eating, drinking and laid down all the time for about 1 - 2 weeks. Chalked it up to fist time AI and stress. She started doing better through the holidays but has within the last week + gone down again sick.
Symptoms:
Mucus from nose.
Not eating.
Lathargic
Runny (very runny) poo
Bleeding from vulva after pooping (3 days)
Laying down alot.
Not grazing
hunching back when poo'ing then looks like she is cramping during
Have a buddy that raise cows and he is telling me she is not bred, the AI did not take, she came back in heat and has something like a cold. Whether this is true or not is beyond me. I suppose I am looking for conformation here.
My GF took Rosie to the vet Monday and the vet was in a hurry, didnt look at her very long. Gave her a shot in case it was bacterial and said if it was viral, it would just have to run its course.
If a cow is bred, AI'ed or live cover, and becomes pregnant then loses the fetus early on will the cows body expell the unborn or re-absorb it back into the cow system.
Now a confident cow guy but trying like heck to understand.
Thank you for any constructive comments. Please no blasting me with, "Your stupid"! Comments. (me not you)
