[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 995313, member: 9096"] If you say 38C is normal for bovines, that's news to me.. I have a bunch of healthy cows I'm going to get a temp on now out of curiosity. NiteHawk, I know exactly what you're thinking and saying... a stroke in and of itself wouldn't cause a fever... and I guess its hard to exclude as what caused the fever possibly causing a stroke too. So speaking to the vet, he gave a list of a few more tests we should do, Draxxin, Thiamine,... Bloodwork (Bovine Screen) - 99.90 - if you draw the blood yourself and bring it in to us (can set you up with the correct tubes) dewormer - pour on for the herd - $60-75 (based on a 30 head herd) Antibiotic - Draxxin - $98.28 Thiamine - 70 Mycoplasma culture - 160 Vaginal swab cytology - 101.90 that's a full $600... I don't think I'm going to take the whole bite I did find that Tizia was always along a fence... It seems as though she's not along it quite as often anymore... But I noticed that if I fed her in the corral, she "couldn't get to the food", so I moved the feeder so there's enough room for her to get between it and the fence, and that seems to have improved her feeding a lot.. Before she probably didn't eat 1/4 bale a day, often a lot less, now I think I've got her up to eating about 1/3.. or about 30 lbs... I ran out of sunflower pellets now, which is too bad, but still have rolled barley. As for her leg, it doesn't look like it's painful when she's in full walk... It seems like her fine motor skills are affected most. She's also got a distinct head tilt now... she looks a little like [img]http://www.hwdsb.on.ca/media/news/images/04082010022419.jpg[/img] Do they discriminate against cows in the special olympics? She's looking like a contender Slightly off topic... I have Tizia's old sister Rosie on Phenylbutazone for her arthritic hip, which means she's not to get into the food chain (off label use on cows), and I can't say she's doing any better on it... maybe her hip is just too worn, I hear it creak when she positions herself...
