Oh no, Jinty - Updated.
« on: May 09, 2012, 12:28:22 am »
Unfortunately, Jinty is down on the floor again.

I noticed on Friday evening that she appeared to be scratching herself, as in her back leg was going up and down towards her body.  Saturday, she ate her breakfast and seemed fine. Went to a local farm sale, then to collect a large bale of straw.  Fully intended calling in on  Little Blue in the afternoon, so called back at the farm to check the animals, and give kids bottles.

Found Jinty flat out, like she was before.  So far, her neck is not twisted back,but her legs are moving like windmills. Having said that, she is not as bad as she was last timne.

Why its come back, I do not know.

Sorry to hear that, Roxy.  Hope it's just a blip and she'll be ok tomorrow.

Oh no, she was doing so well. Hopefully it's just a temporary thing and she'll keep on the upwards (and upright!) recovery path  :-*

Well, she is still eating, but still down on the floor flat out.  Her eyes are not flicking back in her head like they were last time, and her neck seems fine .......but its strange it has come back on her again.  She has not had any haylage, just good quality hay, so cannot say its the haylage this time.  I am wondering if it WAS Listeria, or indeed something else.

Meningitis would be my first thoughts........ heavy duty antibiotics will be essential  plus live yoghurst to keep her rumen working.  Yoghurt may well be more efficient that any of the other rumen starters.

Got antibiotics in her right away, and spooning yogurt down her, too.  No worse, but no better either :(
