[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1679633, member: 24027"] I've been vacillating back 'n forth about whether to take her to the vet. Made the decision today - no. I've already wormed her. She already has a magnet, so if it's hardware it's from something other than metal and there's nothing you can do. On the slim chance she has lymphoma, there's nothing you can do. If she has anaplasmosis, the only treatment is LA200/300 or Baytril 100-C and hope for the best. She's fully vaccinated with minerals & 30% protein tubs always available. So I loaded her up on LA300 today and took her temp. It was 102.4 but also a freakishly warm 84 degrees for this time of year and she wasn't happy about going in the chute. Opened the gate, they're free to join the herd. Before she dropped this little surprise, I was just going to have her preg checked & sell. Mainly because she still looked in good condition and asymptomatic (assuming there is something very wrong). But ethically, I can't do that now. In just a week, it's clear she's not in good condition. But I want the calf to have as much of her milk as possible (her bag is perfect), hope the LA works some sort of magic, and deal with a potential orphan. Who, BTW is a little pistol! Running, bucking, head butting his mama - just like he should. [/QUOTE]
