[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1554164, member: 24027"] Unfortunately I also agree it sounds like hardware. A magnet is your best bet but "hardware" is a relative term; it can also be caused by any sharp object such as a shard of glass, sharp rock, plastic, etc. Uncommon but possible for the magnet to pass. Lost a great cow to hardware not long ago & all my cows, bulls & retained heifers have a magnet. Is she laying down a lot? And on her sternum, head slightly elevated (makes it easier to breathe)? Any drooling/potential mouth sores and is she still eating/drinking? Normal poo? Coughing is typical. Temp is generally normal. Does her brisket look similar to my cow below? I'd definitely get her to your vet. He/she can listen to her heart & lungs, feel the brisket for an accurate diagnosis. Good luck & please keep us updated!
