[QUOTE="Ebaker, post: 699276, member: 9145"] Have a 3 1/2-year-old longhorn who calved 10 days ago. Noticed late yesterday that she was a bit wobbly/unsteady on her legs. About the time I noticed her odd walking, I observed her having a bowel movement (looked perfectly normal) that was immediately followed by a bloody, mucuos discharge from her twat/vulva. That part doesn't really concern me because I've seen that before in new mammas. Observed her until dark last night and since early this morning. Everyone else was up except for her. I finally coaxed her into getting up with some cubes so her calf could nurse. It seemed to take a little extra effort to stand and get all 4 legs under her, and she didn't stretch like they normally do (of course that could have been because she was more interested in getting another cube). Still unsteady on her legs and sort of stumbled backwards a few times. Doesn't appear that she's in danger of falling over...just wobbly...probably would be missed completely by someone who doesn't know her the way I do. She seems to be eating and drinking fine, calf nurses fine, no other discernable symptoms other than the fact that she just looks like she doesn't feel good. Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. EB [/QUOTE]
