    Symptoms like that, looks like a brain problem/infection. I'd be calling the vet.

    Would she not want iv antibiotics. I don't know about you but I wouldn't be able to do that. I'd need the vet to administer.

    Sounds like something that happened to one of our bullocks a few weeks ago, was told it was lifteria, told to give 40ml Oxitate La & 30ml Tylon alternate days for 4 days, he's seems ok now but the ear is still lopsided.

    He doing ok, will feed on to finish off with next batch.

    That is really the vets problem , dont be too sympathetic about his travelling time . He knew that when signing you up as a client .

    Don't let it get you down Greengrass.

    Same thing happens the whole time to us. We build up numbers only to get knocked down again.
    If I loose many more I'll be milk a herd of heifers and old cows next year

    Could be anything. If I had no clue at all I would be getting a PM done. If there was no sign of illness or any sort of mark on her now it could have been a heart attack or defect. Oh and welcome, pity it's on an unfortunate note :/
