[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1776235, member: 42782"] Lots of vets these days don't have much experience with dairy cows. This from the Merck Manual [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.merckvetmanual.com/metabolic-disorders/disorders-of-calcium-metabolism/parturient-paresis-in-cows[/URL] " . Intravenous infusion of calcium transiently raises blood calcium concentrations to nearly twice the normal upper limit. This puts the cow at risk for fatal cardiac arrhythmia. Therefore, calcium-containing solutions should be administered slowly (over 10–20 minutes) while cardiac rhythm is monitored by auscultation or carotid pulse.
