[QUOTE="PetCow Mum, post: 116629, member: 2274"] Thanks everyone for your support. Yes there are just the two of them. I'm on a 100 acre property surrounded by national park with only 7 acres cleared (4 of them my "paddock" for my two cows). No other cows within several kilometres. So they never come into contact with any others. They have been together from birth - I bought them from the same guy and was told they were "mates" - so I'm sure the other one also has it. they are inseperable. In the last 3 years I have had the vet visit 4 times to see them and I have constantly asked what to do about their lack of condition, asked about vaccinations and all I ever got was "just drench them once a year (which I have done)", and paid for some tetracycline and penecillin shots to get them over their "colds". In terms of diseases I was told they had had their "vacc" before I bought them!! And being a first time cow owner (aka sucker) I believed him. Since then the vet has never mentioned any vaccs or I definately would have!! Am trying to treat the symptoms - swollen feet and lame in the one leg with the swollen knee. I thought I'd try a zinc supplement as I read it's effective for footrot - so may help. Any other advice on that would also be great! Thanks [/QUOTE]
