On the thread Soapweed started with his sick calf, I mentioned one of
our neighbors had a cow down on our place. She had gotten through
the fence and was down in a draw. The vet came out on
Wednesday morning and treated her. He also pulled some blood and
sent it in and today the report came back as polio. She got it from drinking some bad water. He hadn't had her in that pasture very long; put them in about Monday night.

There is only potholes for water, but they looked good and clear; with all the runoff, you would think the water wouldn't be that
bad yet.

So, beware, I guess, if you have these conditions in your pasture.
Good water is number 1.

She might make it, stood up in the back end and on her knees in the
front today for at least 15 minutes. The vet gave her some more stuff.
He said she is blind, too, but she might get over that as well.

Keep your fingers crossed. She's so cute and she looks so sad.
