Maybe she just has an antisocial personality.How long have they all been together? I have one cow that sometimes will do that,hang back to see what is going to happen rather than stay with the other girls. :cboy:

Will do well..... :cboy:

Might try a paste of adolphs meat tenderizer....works on humans for wasps,bees,scorpions, etc. ;-)

Use an animal immobilizer,opposite side of the tailhead from the sore foot,crank it up and she will hand the hoof to you and hold it while you inspect it. ;-) :cboy:

One of the most common causes of these outbreaks is using chicken litter on the pastures.It is ok on the hay meadow,but should not be used on the pasture that cattle are grazing. ;-) :cboy:

pink eye? Looks like she has some dried exudate medial to her left eye. :?:

I can only tell you what I have experienced.It obviously does not get rid of all the flies, but it is not as bad when I use the blocks.I have had better luck with the blocks than using a rub or spending the time and energy to get my cows up to be sprayed.I have also used the rabon by the...

I know they are a little pricey, but I feel that by reducing the fly population they are cost effective.Besides, the girls need a treat now and then. The key to the blocks is getting them out early enough in the year to get a handle on the flies at the beginning of the season. ;-)

That Vet is probably a liberal. Get one,it works,and is more humane because you do not have to fight the cattle to do what needs to be done.Safer for you and the cattle,especially if you have to work them by yourself or with very little help. ;-) :cboy:

I feed corn gluten (pelletized), it is 16% protein, I feed it straight,have done so for years and the cows have never had a problem with it,and seem to love it.

Find another vet...have the bull tested before each breeding season. ;-) :cboy:

Bez?, Is she a limo by chance? :cboy:

My guess would be urinary tract infection or std. :(

I like those rabon fly blocks. The cattle like them and they seem to reduce the population. ;-) :cboy:

I put one in the heifers/cows/small calves, the bulls get two, one in each ear. I replace them every 6 months or so. ;-) :cboy:

I would think that vets are as obligated to treat emergencies as human docs are (ethics). But I would think that it would do more good to file a complaint with the vet equivalent of the medical society than a lawsuit. As someone said,the only one to benefit would be the be nice lawyers! I have...

Excellent choice!!! ;-) :D :) :cboy:

Sounds like a hormonal problem (thyroid). Call your vet for advice. ;-) :cboy:

Dun, Very interesting, where do you get the yoke, harness,etc? Are bulls used for work also or just the "ox"? :)

Agreed! ;-) :( :cboy:
