    is she calved ? i find a dose of chanatol for a few days does great job... they say that their feet suffer as all the energy is going in to the twins... i found that is using rotavec corona on the cows the calves dont do as well as the 2cc is spread over 2 rather than 1 , so they need a bit more care

    if she is thin, milk her once a day,the reduced demand will allow her get her condition back

    if she didnt have access to minerals pre calving there is a strong possibility that she is lacking put a mineral lick with her and a mineral drench would do no harm either
