[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1097358, member: 9267"] Yes, b1 & b12. I'll pm you the name of the vet who handled our polio outbreak; there's a lot of similarities in what you're describing but because the symptoms get so vague there's also a lot of possible causes. Also, we were using b1 and an appetite stimulant on everything that had seizures and it was effective, but there's a lot more information available on polio now than there was then and I'm not sure if it's still recommended as the first treatment. There was a lot of publicity at one time about cows on farms that had been fertilised with basic slag going down with similar symptoms. You might/might not see any signs before a seizure. I had two drop with mag deficiency in the spring, saved them both, there were no indicator signs, and the rest of the herd showed no indication of mag deficiency either. Likewise with the polio, I've seen cows drop to the ground, have a fit then stand back up again as if nothing had happened. [/QUOTE]
