Good video ! Wow! You guys are Vets too... I know...it's just another day to you...but to someone that doesn't live on a farm,it's something else! God bless you for caring after the animals so well.
Cool to see how different farmers do this. We treat in the neck vein , because the mammary vein would possibly be dirty from laying down. Plus we gave 1 bottle of calcium and 1 bottle of dextrose.. Thanks for sharing.
That is some kind of miracle juice! Wish I had something equal for humans sometimes. I’m getting older by the day and sometimes I can’t decide if I’m slowing down or trying to do too much because my output is Diminishing. You are a good farmer, knowing what to do and do it. Better job than another Michigan vet who happens to have a tv program. Great video Rhonda!
Now that was really impressive Rhonda! This video showed your inner beauty and demonstrated the caring soul from which you gain your strength. That mama cow saw it and so did I. Thank you for sharing.
You are so beautiful when you are caring for your mama cow. You are shining!! I'm so glad that sweet cow had you to save her! My cow is going to have a baby soon. Her hips have sunk in and got soft and her udder is big. I really hope she doesn't get milk fever, because I don't have that calcium or I.V. This one person I met said if she gets it, call him and he'll fly over and help.
@@acresofclayhomestead I bought her already milking thinking she was not pregnant. I figure this is her second calf coming, since shes almost 3. I'm checking her all the time! One thing that is weird is, I can see that the baby is kicking right at her vulva! Does that mean the baby is backwards?
@@acresofclayhomestead I thought you looked so beautiful in that one video, surrounded by your pretty cows, but in this video your soul seems to just shine! I respect for you, for the hard work you do, your skill and knowledge and confidence and your love for your cows. It touched my heart. I loved cows all my life, but we only just have had a family cow or two. I feel so small when I see you there with 400 cows and still you are calm and smart about it haha
Dr.Rhonda! When we milked Jerseys this was a constant problem among our high stress heavy producers. Dad switched to feeding oat hay and lower protein feed the last 30 days before calving. The new ration almost eliminated the problem. Never saw a calcium iv given anywhere except the jugular in the neck. Oat hay also eliminated Displaced Abomasum problems too.
Rhonda dont you fall in love with those cows first time i got around cows i used to walk every morning in the country and there was this huge pasture next to the road and usually there was about 30 or so follow me down the road they begged for my attention everyday there the best pets i grew very fond of them huge personalities wow i now there one of GODS favorite animals amen
You have to be part vet if you have stock. Door shelves in kitchen refrigerator where filled with vet stuff and big box in barn. Thanks for showing farm life!
@@acresofclayhomestead baby is healthy and mom seems to be good so far. Her appetite is not so strong, and her udder is so big that her back teats have all but disappeared! We have to use needle/tube things to get any milk out! (Not quite milk yet, but colostrum)
That was AMAZING! Wow! So, is her calf able to nurse right away, or do you anticipate any problems in that regard? I would sure appreciate an update on the cow and her calf in a day or two if you all have the time. Thanks so much for making this video because I'm sure a lot of people (like me) will get a lot out of it! Take care and God bless! Glad I subscribed!
The calf is able to nurse soon after she gets up. And Yes, I will do an update on both of them in a day or so. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
About two years ago we started using a product from agrilabs called Triple Calcium Boluses on any cow prone to milk fever. They are a bit costly but we have to iv treat very few cows sense we started using the boluses. We milk around 200 cows in southern Ohio and really enjoy your channel.
I have beef ranch and don't deal with Milk fever very often , so it was very interesting. I have always done the IV in the jugular and my Vet had me so scared that I made sure it took 20min to put a bottle in so I didn't kill the cow. We were cleaning house today and my sweet heart asked what the bottles of Cal Mag Phos were and I said for emergencies.
AndersonCattleCo. Doesn’t seem to be a issue in the milk vein. We use disposable iv packs and squeeze the crap out of the bag because I’m usually in a rush to get to next job. Normally takes less than 5 min. Put one under skin as well for slow release because they can go down again a few hours later when the one in the vein wears off.
Milk fever does not affect the milk at all, I think it gets it's name from the timing a cow goes down. It usually happens when the cow starts producing colostrum, and it drains her calcium from the blood. Some cows are unable to replace the calcium quick enough thus she gets milk fever.
I work at the dairy farm too, and aftermilking i do spot checking we have that cow which is 2410 ear tag everytime she sees me she always give me a neck hug like really tight
When we IV cow we did it exactly the same way or the neck when we got it ready we flipped it up and let it flow out a little bit before we put it into the needle that's so they wouldn't be no air pockets that cow is pretty
I just read a story of a marine who drink too much did an entire balloon full of heroin intravenously and took barbiturate pills all at once and during his lethargic Lush state his friends decided he was having an overdose and thought milk would be the proper way to counteract the negative effects he was enduring so they got two syringes filled them with milk and injected them into his antecubital vein as an antidote. He got worse, this almost killed him...
May this city person ask do you need to keep this stuff on hand in frigerator. You must keep them all kinds of medications on hand. Because you certainly know what you're doing.. and you had no trouble finding that vein.
what is the problem if cow doesn't sit after giviing birth.Our cow doesnt sit for about 8 day and she sit and then neverstand up and die after 1 month.
If the cow lays on her side while giving birth, she must sit up right after so her stomachs don't twist. She might have had milk fever and needed Calcium right away. If no Calcium is given, she will die.
@@acresofclayhomestead actually I'm a veterinarian begginer just going through some random Veterinary treatment videos and i found your one. Are you on ig or in other social media let me know.

Hello everyone from Nairobi, Kenya. I work as a veterinary officer in rural Kenya. Such a great video!. Thank you

Awe, thank you! That's so sweet of you to say. Keep me posted on when your cow gives birth. Is this her first time calving?

I'm sure the calf is fine. We never know if a calf is coming backwards until the mom is giving birth.
Thank you for your sweet words!!
Your video just saved our Jersey's life. Thank you so much for posting this!
Yay! So glad she's doing better!!
@@acresofclayhomestead luckily my wife had the forethought to get everything we needed ahead of time just in case!

Good job doctor Rhonda!!! And I’d say great information for a small homesteaders with only a couple cows!!!

Wow you guys rock. Hope she feels better!
My cow had a baby girl yesterday! I'm so happy.
Oh, and baby girl!!!! So happy for you! Both mama and baby doing good??

@@acresofclayhomestead we kept checking on her all the time, but she had it when we were asleep, (4 hours of sleep) !!!
Lol! That's how they usually are. Glad to hear both are doing good!
Thank you!

Interesting! We rarely have a cow with milk fever, but there are a few that are prone to getting it.
Great video, love all your videos. Hope you and your family are having a wonderful day!
Thank you!
Really great information. I've never heard of milk fever before.
We find that a fat cow is more likely to get milk fever much quicker than a "normal" weight cow. :) Thanks for Watching!
Never heard of milk fever. Exciting to learn new things.
we put vitaminized calcium in the food (corn with wheat bran)..
You and your family are fantastic people who are the true American Dream! Do you employ any people? I enjoy your videos!
How is the cow now? You are a highly skilled person!
We have a couple teens come in a few days a week to help with the milkings. The cow is doing great. Thanks for asking!

Does milk fever affect the milk? I love seeing dedicated people like y’all! How is the cow doing today?🙏❤️🙏

The cow and calf are both doing great. I was just out there a little while ago and checked on them. :)
Thank you. Your awesome!
Good job dear!
good treatment of cattle post partum milk fever with i v Ca++ # but U did not focus camera on vein to understand it #
I work at the dairy farm too, and aftermilking i do spot checking we have that cow which is 2410 ear tag everytime she sees me she always give me a neck hug like really tight
Amazing work 😍😍😍
Great video thanks for the info
Got to take care of the money makers on the farm.
Aww I'm love your video but the cow are doing great

You made that look so easy, amazing Vet, can she start being milked right away?
We will give her a few more days to let the baby nurse off of her, then we will start milking her.
@@acresofclayhomestead thanks for your answer....
Very nice madam
cool video happy ending
May this city person ask do you need to keep this stuff on hand in frigerator. You must keep them all kinds of medications on hand. Because you certainly know what you're doing.. and you had no trouble finding that vein.
Yes, we do keep certain meds on hand at all times.
Can you get some special Gatorade for cows after giving birth.
IV Dextrose (sugar water)..
Wow! 👍👍👍😎
