Question

Whats the best method to provide long-term periods of assistance to a cow that has nerve damage that results in recumbency slings?

Answer 1

Mechanically raising the cow, such as with a sling, can help with treatment and diagnosis. If the cow has nerve damage, hobbling can help the cow get more support. When the initial cause is resolved but the cow still does not rise, the cow becomes a downer cow. As a result of muscle and nerve damage, this failure to rise is usually observed within 24 hours of the cow falling off her feet.

This nerve damage occurs because a cow falling off its feet puts a lot of pressure on its muscles and nerves, which is exacerbated in many diseases by the cow's inability to shift position to avoid continuous weight bearing.
