    I have a cow calved about 6 weeks, elder seemed to be heavy on back for last while, put her in this evening and when I milked back of elder it was water rather than milk, appears calf was not sucking these 2 back spins so cow was going to go dry, no mastitis.

    What will happen now, will she go dry on these 2 spins

    She might go dry. I'd get a mastitis tube for her too - just to be on the safe side.

    We had a cow there this year with it and her milk looked like it was water!! i forget what we gave her but get on to your vet straight away because its deadly ,we had to milk her out every morning and evening for a few days!!
