[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 12277"] Thanks Cindy. Some further research has spointed me towards yoru diagnosis. In our case it could be a secondary form of photosensitization which has resulted from liver damage over a period of time. Teh cuasse is probably a weed we have here which this particular heifer took a liking to without knowing the consequences. e call this weed Pattersons Curse and it is also known as Salvation Jane (Echium spp). Thanks again, all teh others seem fine at the moment so here's hoping it was an isolated incident.
