Hi! I have a 4 year old cow nursing her 2nd calf. It's been a rough winter here and I'm sure she's ... "Susie".. just rundown. I have her separated with her calf..."Boy named Sue" so she's getting grain, brome, fresh water, mineral, salt block and a LOT of TLC!!!! I gave her a B-complex + shot yesterday. I also poured about 2 cups of mineral oil...
down her throat as she was constipated.......that symptom soon was remedied!!!!! :haha: Susie still is not eating much, she seems to be very thin and of course, not much milk. "Boy named Sue" is very healthy...he's a 4 month calf. The one thing that really confuses me is that she keeps eating mud!! Sometimes big bites full!!!! I know she's looking for something, what could it be? Any ideas? My hubby is at work, so, I'm trying to "dr" Susie on my own...I would appreciate any suggestions you might have.... thanks....Bobbi from the Kansas Flint Hills (surragate cow-mom!!!)
