Today we ran through our last bunch of heifer calves to bangs vaccinate. This heifer came in faster than most, and ended up
with her front leg out the headcatch along with her head. Immediately she went into cardiac arrest, and collapsed. Fortunately,
Peach had along some epinephrine. This was immediately administered with no results, so a second dose was given by the veterinarian
directly into the jugular vein. The calf died, and its eyes glazed over. Soon though the epinephrine took effect, and the calf came back
to life. Later in the day, the heifer walked a half mile back to the meadow with her compadres. I do believe she will have a full recovery.
Heifer calf not in good shape, but the vet is giving it epinephrine.
She appears to have died.
Epinephrine taking effect
Chances still look quite slim
It might make it after all.
I do believe she will survive. Peach's prayers were answered.
