First time I have seen it.

I had a vet examine her and he had no real diagnosis. He gave her shots of Dexamethasene and Lasix. I doctored her 2 more times with the same shots I got from him. Also wormed her and gave shot of Multimin and LA300. One of those rare things things that happen to cattle sometimes I suppose.
