[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1300618, member: 9096"] In this instance I don't think the hot shot would do anything the vet coming at her wouldn't.. it's just a strong simulus. I thought it was possible to rectally palpate for a broken pelvis... not that I know how. We did have a cow go down on ice and break her pelvis, she was about 6-7 month bred at the time, we brought her to a dry place, bucketed water and feed, and about a month before being due she had a calf, good and healthy, but small. she was still unable to get up, and had developed bed sores by then so we put her down and bottled the calf... That was 20 years ago, and it was our last bottle baby (from start to finish). As long as she's scooting, I think you can manage the risk of the bed sores, make sure she alternates sides once in a while... A down cow never has a rosy prognosis, but I think you may be able to nurse her along to get the calf. [/QUOTE]
