I still can't believe Jim and the boys did this (I wasn't home), but they read up on the internet, picked up a calcium IV in town, found the vein to use and proceeded to give her the IV. (Of course it was on a Sat., too.) Within 10 minutes she was back to her old self. I am very glad I wasn't home to witness the doctoring! She is our best goat, so we were so thankful to have her healthy again.Lynn Bartletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17435825858991342289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28363093.post-42143633241169297472009-05-18T12:07:00.000-04:002009-05-18T12:07:00.000-04:00I'm so glad Buttercup is better.

The first week of March, Jack and I went to meet our new grandson and while gone, we lost a cow and calf. We thought that it was her age. Next time we are away, we will have a neighbor check on the cows.<br />ReginaReginahttp://www.homesteadblogger.com/onthefarmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28363093.post-24706871294452034272009-05-18T10:04:00.000-04:002009-05-18T10:04:00.000-04:00What a tough day...so glad to hear that Buttercup ...What a tough day...so glad to hear that Buttercup made it through the ordeal.Frazzled Farm Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10670912081102882168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28363093.post-51459598312847676752009-05-18T09:08:00.000-04:002009-05-18T09:08:00.000-04:00I'm glad Buttercup got better!

I too am a farmgirl, and love my life that the Lord has blessed me with:)<br /><br />I understand the milk fever...my goat kidded the day before easter, and Easter Sunday when we got home at 11 pm (from dinner @ grandma's) she was almost dead. The vet - (bless his heart) came out and gave her 5 iv's of calcium and about 15 minutes later she was walking around!! It is scary isn't it? They totally loose muscle control, and so you've got a crazy animal to deal with.<br /><br />You've got a great blog! I'll definitely be coming back:)<br /><br />~Jenna~Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05093137590808212614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28363093.post-35044237968066871722009-05-18T06:47:00.000-04:002009-05-18T06:47:00.000-04:00When I was a child we had a beautiful Jersey/Guern...When I was a child we had a beautiful Jersey/Guernsey who went into calcium deficiency shock. It happens so quickly, you have to be on the alert. <br /><br />You learn, never milk your cow out after calving. If you want to train for a bottle immediately and still make sure they get colostrum, I'm sure you know what to do now. Scary! I'm so glad you found her and she's OK. She is lovely. :)<br /><br />~FaithFaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15491898004275353526noreply@blogger.com
