Talking Dairy · In 10: The simple check that can sharpen your down cow plan · 23 Jul 2026 podcast

Yeah, and sometimes we have other diagnostic options available to us.

Lots of fets have in clinic blood testing that gives them just a l I think a little bit more info that you can use to make those decisions.

So it's certainly worthwhile when you're having trouble getting your vet involved.

Yeah.

Have a plan.

Make sure that everyone on your team knows the plan and that they've helped be part of ideally the making of that plan.

You know, when everyone has been involved in the generation of that plan, they're often a lot more invested and, you know, want to get it right.

Make sure you act early.

The quicker you can get to these down cows, the less muscle damage they get, the quicker and better they respond to treatment.

Does she need more water?

Is there something I can do for her now, you know, as often as you can that really improves the outcomes?

And figuring out when to ask for help.
