[QUOTE="One Finger Plantation, post: 7265756, member: 153866"] Fast changes in the last 24 hours for day 4 but all for the good. Feeding remains about the same .750 liters'ish, sometimes its all gone sometimes its not. Last night was her first wobble stand by herself after getting her up for feeding. This morning was her first independent "stood up on my own"... Im convinced she did this to spite my statement yesterday of it taking a few days. All "normal" cow functions must now be done in standing position. Which means a hissy fit of "come get me up and hold me up" when I want to be fed, poop or pee. Two person job, I cant wait till this passes!!! She's much more alert and awake for and hour, two or three at a time now. The ticks, thrashes, floundering and eye rolls are getting less and less frequent. She still has a solid full body twitch going on every 15-20 seconds when she's awake but the overall all "brain to body" control is getting MUCH better. We need to weight her again, I didn't on day 2 because honestly I didn't expect her to make it and then forgot yesterday. I don't think she will be standing much beyond the occasional up and down for the moment. When she's upright she still doesn't have the leg strength to get her ankles into the correct position and is "slippering". Pretty awesome just to see her trying to "cow". Were debating next steps on keeping her on the porch health-wise we know it the better option for as long a possible with her lungs but it becomes a matter of room and logistics. She still tiny and swimming in size for the dog box she is in but with the standing up phase coming on she will need more room. The linen bedding is getting taxing on the laundry as well. Well probably end up digging through the lumber pile and framing up a small pen with a tarped bottom and switching to pellet bedding. We also have a cold front coming so lots of prep work for -0C overnights where the lambs and goat kits are concerned. Pictures... Her last "lay down" feeding last night with her rescuer. First wobbles on her own last night. First stand up on her own this morning. [/QUOTE]
