[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1337518, member: 9096"] I'm pretty quick with putting them down.. If I don't see a chance of recovery, that's it... If they are eating, drinking, and not in any evident anguish, I'll wait it out... I had a cow that must have had a stroke (she was lost and confused), brought her to the vet, spent $400, didn't get any reasonable indication of what was going on, he gave her LA200.. Month later (of no improvements) she fell or laid down in a way she couldn't get back up, she was bloated and tired from struggling, We turned her around the right way, trocar'd her, and a half hour later she still wasn't going to get up, so I got the .22 and put her down right there. You just gotta balance what your heart tells you with what your mind tells you... [/QUOTE]
