Sick cow?

[foul mouth phil]

I've got a three week calved cow that came in the parlor walking sideways with her head to the left trying to walk in circles,she is also chewing and frothing at the mouth,she milked out ok but didn't eat her meal,managed to get her out the parlour and gave her half a bottle off mag and a bottle of blue,the cows are only on fresh grass now as the buffer has run out,they have plenty of grass in front of them with mineral blocks and barley straw to go at,if she's the same in the mornin I'll get the vet out,anyone want to guess what the problem is ? P.s her temp is fine. Just wondering if she's ate something she shouldn't have,or they are lacking something .

Ketosis. Get some Prop Glyco into her.

 

[bigw]

Listeria?

 

[Devon lad]

Mag deficiency does funny things like that. Lots of lush grass about now.

 

[More to life]

Could be all three off the above

 

[Devon lad]

I sometimes find ketosis cows have a low temperature.

I sometimes find ketosis cows have a low temperature.

And you'll smell it: pear drops.

What he said.

Nervous ketosis. I've only ever seen one but a shot of B12, steroid and a few days drenching prop glycol she'll probably come good.

Sounds like listeriosis has she had access to poor forage or dumped lawn clippings ?
If it is she needs some antibiotics pronto .
Has she had complications post calving to give her big condition loss?

 

[Blue.]

I'd go with nervous ketosis,with Listeriosis you know about it,you'd do well getting it in the parlour.

 

[foul mouth phil]

Ketosis. Get some Prop Glyco into her.

Done that too, just been for a check on her and she's got her head down on some rough grass,so fingers crossed she might be walkin in a straight line tomorrow.

None of the above,calved on her own and cleansed fine,haven't given any antibiotics yet,see what tomorrow brings,she has always been a greedy pig though,

We had one doing weird things the other day. Almost staggers but not. Turned out to be colic

 

[jade35]

We had our first one with nervous ketosis this year, two weeks calved, treated for staggers with mag and calciject no 5 by vet first time, went downhill again in the same field on the next rotation vet suggested nervous ketosis and propyl glycerol

Get the vet. Can't diagnose off the internet.

Either vet today or knacker man tomorrow

 

[worker]

How is she? I had one behave like that once, turned out to be salmonella

 

[Mr Jones]

If it was listeria, 50 ml of p&s, and the following day. Unfortunately I have never had one recover from listeria, treat it promptly the better chance the cow has to make a full recovery apparently .
