    Cow that calved yesterday got milk fever yesterday afternoon. Gave bottle under skin and bottle in vein. Still wasn't able to get up last night at ten. Gave her another one then but she still can't get up. Time to get the hip clamps I think

    What's your dry cow routine like coming up to calving, a cow going down that quick after calving smacks of a unbalanced diet/lack of minerals, our is she just a older lady

    Silage and straw and min in the water. She is near 8 yr old first milk fever we have had Here in a while. Its creates some hardship when they go down. she had a hard calving too

    Hope everything is ok. It's been said before but things like this should be remembered by all of us when we think we have a problem. Puts things into perspective.

    Hope your friend will be okay. Life definitely can change in an instant!! Recently enough had personal experience of same thing with family member which didn't turn out so good. I know we only say it when something happens but we should make the most of every day.
