weird cow behaviour
I have a 9 or 10 year old Dexter cow, that has had a couple of what I would call, seizures. She will halfway rear up, like she's been kicked in the head, fall over, then lay there, or struggle to get up for awhile. Today I went out to let them out of the pasture after they had eaten, and she was standing there, covered in mud and her tounge hanging out the side of her mouth. I called my vet and he said he didn't have a clue, and if the tounge was still hanging out tomarrow, bring her in. I went back out and she came right to me and I grabbed her tounge, and put it back in her mouth and felt down her throat, to see if there was some obstruction. I felt a real rough patch at the back of her tounge, but nothing else. Her tounge stayed in, and she followed me back to the barn, and seems fine now. She has done this several times over the years, but this was the first time with the tounge. Anybody have any ideas???? She's about 7 months bred, don't know if that makes any difference
