[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10452"] I have a 17 month old holstein heifer who is due to calve in a couple of weeks or so. The problem is, she went down this past Friday or Thursday night. I discovered her Friday afternoon. I gave her a tube of calcium and that didn't help. I had my vet come out and she gave her 2 drips...one in the neck and another in the flank. She told me the cow may not get up as she's a bit thin. I've been watering and feeding her 3 times a day since I found her down. She's eating and drinking well, except for today, she didn't seem to interested in her water, but it rained quite abit last night and she may have drank some rainwater that puddled around her. She's wiggled herself around several times and is facing a new direction almost every time I go to check her, but is still lying on the same back leg. The vet told me what to feed her and I"ve been doing so. ( I forget what it's called right now lol). Anyway, I don't have a lift or access to one, so lifting her is not an option. I'm thinking about shooting her, but don't want to lose the calf too. Any suggestions? Thanks, Tim [email=elemteach4@yahoo.com]elemteach4@yahoo.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
