"There are many reasons that cows go down"
ASK any other dairy farmer or a veterinarian, and they will tell you
that a down cow can be either the most enjoyable case they have
treated or their worst. With some down cows, a simple bottle of IV
calcium will get them up and back on their feet, while, for other downers, no matter what you do, nothing seems to help."
