[QUOTE="bovine, post: 3433702, member: 12486"] There was a very interesting talk at a conference I attended last year, showing injected calcium initially raised and then actually dropped blood calcium. I only inject now if they are on death's door and cannot swallow, otherwise I supplement orally. Lots of people much cleverer than me don't believe phosphorus deficiency exists. Correct the calcium (orally) and the phosphorus will sort itself. I've measured lots of cows phosphorus level and I struggle to remember a low one. I've had more low in potassium. I suspect phosphorus is like homeopathy - give it and they get better - not that either is the actual cure. I occasionally use phosphorus in cows, but not a lot. I wouldn't rush to in this case. I'd probably drench with a potassium containing rehydration solution, propylene glycol and perhaps give some steroid, depending on other signs and blood glucose/ketone levels. [/QUOTE]
