[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 996386, member: 9096"] thanks for the warning about Bute... I'll look into B-L pellets.. I tried banamine, mine was an injection, and it's not long acting, so she wasn't too fond of me in short order.. I give her about 5g of bute a day right now... you know what the active ingredient is in those B-L pellets? Tizia is doing a bit better this week, she's not against the fence as much, and she seems a little bit more sure-footed, so we'll see how things continue... I'm not expecting her to be the same cow she used to be, but I'd sure like a second heifer from her, I wouldn't mind an entire herd of daughters like her last one... she raised a 680 lb steer for her first one and is as sweet as her mother. Tizia's lumps do seem to have gone down a bit... I still feel a bit of one on her rib, and the one by her hip isn't as pronounced, but she's also been eating better which helps.. I think I have her eating close to 1/3rd of a 80 lb bale a day, and a couple lbs of barley. I set up a infrared camera and wired it to my room so i can keep an eye on her (I was hoping to use it for calving but it isn't going to do).. she seems pretty alert, she's always looking around her, so I take that as a sign of improvement... i don't know if I can say her head tilt has improved, but it certainly hasn't worsened. I'm just glad she's more mobile now... Unfortunately i'm going to need that corral for calving, so i'm going to have to move her to the bullpen (alone), which is round and should suit her.. I'll just have to visit her lots so she doesn't get lonely and depressed [/QUOTE]
