[QUOTE="Putangitangi, post: 1096881, member: 5956"] Firstly, in my description I left some words out: the distressed bellowing wasn't in relation to the electric fence, from which she'd already backed out. I forgot to include her age, sorry: 16 months. It's high summer and Magnesium deficiencies are relatively unlikely. There are none of the signs of increased nervousness I'd expect in the herd if that was the problem. But I will bear it in mind as I try and figure this out, thank you. I have thought along the same lines, but have not been sure how possible epilepsy may be. The grand-mother's seizures began at 10 years and while we did a post-mortem, there were failures in dealing with the brain and we never got any answers as to the cause. We put it down to possible trauma, since there had been an event which could have contributed in the previous year. I was looking for any evidence of something possibly hereditary so that I could ensure I didn't carry it on. Another daughter of the same original cow has several descendants, none of which have shown any signs of disorder. We don't have rabies, fortunately. I took a liver and blood sample, which I'll take to the vet today and discuss. [/QUOTE]
