[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 985995, member: 9096"] I have a cow (Tizia, the "horse") who's usually really quiet and calm, but all week she's been spooked about something, she was in the field until yesterday, pacing about all the time, not eating, she'd lost a lot of weight, she's usually a big round tank but she was certainly hungry... it was as if she was looking for her calf (who was with her), she wandered far off from the rest and ended up in a gulley. I didn't see her at feeding time so I went looking for her and a distant gate that they never usually go to in the wintertime had been open, where she found her way into the gulley from there... I brought her some grain, she ate a mouthful and wasn't interested in any more... I took her up to the corral with her calf, gave her grain, which she ate, and gave her some good hay, and she is doing better now, but still nervous, sometimes just walking around in about a 20 foot circle... I did see her chewing cud today, which is always good, and she still likes pettings, but often wanders off, which she didn't do before... she also has some scratches on her back, ear, and cheek, which look like barbed wire or something (not cougar), but how she got them I have no idea. anyhow, she's grounded to the corral for now Has anyone ever had a cow spook off her food before? or have any idea what's the matter with her?
